Defined in the dictionary as <i>Pejorative applied to anyone with an above-average IQ and few gifts at small talk and ordinary social rituals.</i> I don't think you really want to be one of these. The word itself is derived from Dr. Seuss's 1950 book <i>If I Ran The Zoo</i>: And then, just to show them, I'll sail to Ka-Troo %%% And Bring Back an It-Kutch, a Preep and a Proo, %%% A Nerkle, a Nerd, and a Seersucker, too! 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 computer-related), while a [Nerd] is the stereotypical RPG-playing, smelly, social outcast.
