In pre-InterNet land, a [Nerd] and a [Geek] were roughly the same thing. Today, a [Geek] is someone with a passion for technical pursuits (usually, but not necessarily, computer-related), while a [Nerd] is the stereotypical RPG-playing social outcast who is so tied up in their passion they don't see anything else, like making time for PersonalHygiene or stepping into the BigBlueRoom. |
