Have people forgotten that geek and nerd are also suposed to be insulting?
English
-
Not really A geek for example me is a person with a above avarage interest within a subject (evetything from mlp to cars) Geek has just evolved into a megative worf then gone back to its old usr to describe specially interested people
-
Yes really. Only now are people describing themselves as nerds and geeks. Before then it was an insult. And I would describe a geek or a nerd as someone with an extremely above average interest in a topic that is considered weird or unusual, typically to the point of which they neglect personal hygiene, health and or social life.
-
But... a geek and a nerd are two different things? http://www.dictionary.com/browse/geek http://www.dictionary.com/browse/nerd Stating here also the origins of the word geek.
-
Yes and you can actually see where these two words start to have the same meaning. Geek: [quote]a person who has excessive enthusiasm[/quote] [quote]a digital-technology expert or enthusiast[/quote] Nerd: [quote]obsessed with a nonsocial hobby or pursuit[/quote] They clearly have similar meanings by this description. The description for nerd goes as far to give "a computer nerd." as an example.
-
Not same, similar but different
-
This is what I'm wondering.
