GEEKS AND NERDS. AN INFORMATIVE
|

FILE BY: THE DATA BLITZ 11/20/84

|
|
======================================
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
I'm quite sure that everyone has heard of the two terms ''GEEK'' and ''NERD''.
|
|||
|
|
However, I'm almost totally positive that nearly no one knows the difference
|
|||
|
|
between the two. I say this because there is a major difference.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
A geek is a person (almost always male) that seems to be weird, or different
|
|||
|
|
from others due to extreme unsocialness, or due to his (or her) occupation. In
|
|||
|
|
other words, a geek is person that was normal at some point, but through a
|
|||
|
|
developing greater interest in his (or her) occupation or hobby, and
|
|||
|
|
unsocialness he (or she) becomes different from others, or also weird.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Now, a nerd is a person that is BORN with the qualities of a geek, but to the
|
|||
|
|
mega- extreme. This meaning, that the nerd is born weird, and just gets more
|
|||
|
|
weird. (A good comparison of nerd is a terd. If you think about it, doesn't a
|
|||
|
|
terd smell bad at first, and as it gets older, it gets moreso?)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Now, almost all computer buffs are termed as ''NERDS''. But, unless you are a
|
|||
|
|
nerd, (those of you that are, know who you are) if someone labels you as a
|
|||
|
|
''NERD'' and you aren't, simply tell them you are a geek, not a 'NERD'.
|
|||
|
|
I hope I was able to clear up this slight discrepancy.
