Are You a Geek, Nerd, or Dork?
Posted by Darius Wey in "OFF-TOPIC" @ 06:00 AM
"An alarming trend that we've noticed at the Militant Geek HQ is the sloppy usage of the terms 'geek', 'nerd', and 'dork'. It was almost as if certain individuals assumed that they meant the same thing! For the record Geeks are those that have technical aptitude, nerds are bright but socially awkward, and dorks are just inept excuses for protoplasm. To prevent such future travesties of verboten wonders the retired circus-monkey crew at Militant Geek has prepared this handy comparison chart."
Most of my friends use these terms interchangeably as if they were one and the same. I've always been quick to correct them, which I guess makes me a geek. Militant Geek's "geek vs. nerd vs. dork" table seems to agree, though I have a hard time believing that API documentation is sexy, and I don't wear geek-shirts in public. Sorry.
