Geeks? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

My friends are all the complete manifestation of Nerd. There isn't time to talk about how much they're geeks.

And yet, the only person who they call a nerd/geek is me. Thus, I am, like I said before, the Uber-Geek.

Upon hearing this title my friend proclaimed that anyone who would use a german prefix on an english word is an unsalvagable nerd.

I bowed.

I don't know if someone will agree with me, but it seems to me that geeks are not as un-accepted as they used to be. Or maybe they have learned to be geeky but still fit in...somehow. But why does anybody care if someones a geek? There are probably more of them in this world than those who consider themselves normal... no sense stereotyping.

I, for one, am a true-blue geek and nobody cares about my geekiness. To Angband with those who think geeks are (insert something insulting here).

Lhunardawen, a geek and loving it.

yes, it does seem like nerd/geek is less of an offensive term anymore, and more like a badge of honour now.
