Whats the difference between a Geek and a Nerd?

[Jabberwocky]

So then...

 

Geekdom/Nerddom....

 

Are we born with it, or do we learn to be...erm... it...?

 

Do some have geekness thrust upon them? Or are they born geeks/nerds?

[perplexed]

Joe Normal for me. Breakdown was:

 

30% Nerd

17% Geek

22% Dork

I got 57% pure dork:hihi::hihi:

 

I think i may need to get out more often:roll:

[Badgerramble]

I'm a pure nerd at 52%. Thought I'd be more geek tho.

 

My friend is an outcast genius at 78 % nerd. He does love his Linux !

Geeks like sci fi and fantasy, Nerds live it!

 

 

 

Yes I'm talking about you role playing types that can't make a cup of tea without rolling a dice and can't speak if a woman of the opposite sex is in the same room as you.

Hehehe, Mojo!

 

There are loads of role players that are very charismatic and utterly at home in social situations, earning them the title of 'only slightly geeky'.

 

Mind you, we're all geeky in one way or another, whether it's a fascination with the warp engines of the Enterprise or a weekly addiction to Eastenders.

You role play, don't you?
