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.
