Defined [in the jargonfile | JargonFile:nerd] as a <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. 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. "The difference between a [Geek] and a [Nerd] is that the geek can get chicks."
