Re: Another word for "nerd" or "geek"

I agree, though perhaps this is true only amongst geeks. I recently saw a little girl who lives up the street taunting her older brother and calling him a geek. I told this little girl, who sometimes plays with my daughter, that at my house "geek" is a compliment. But what does it mean then, she as

RE: Another word for "nerd" or "geek"

I've thought about this a lot... I've heard many people (wrongfully ashamed of their geekness) demand to be called "Engineers". (Disney, by the way, takes this a step further and calls its people "Imagineers". This, of course, eventually gets modified by someone in marketing to "Imaginerds" and w

Re: Another word for "nerd" or "geek"

I don't think "geek" has quite the negative connotation you say it does anymore. I refer to myself as a geek from time to time, and even if I am a professional programmer, I do completely normal things like wear a Klingon costume to the grocery store, speak fluent Wookiee, make PDP-11 and quan

RE: Another word for "nerd" or "geek"

Personally, I'm all for geek, as Tony so succinctly put it. But, I think this is for a book he's writing, probably fiction, so I doubt that will make the cut. Somehow, I think "ubb3r733t" is out, too. :-) Cameron ~| Find out ho

Techhead. Coder. Brainbox. Of course, I proudly put my geekhood on display. Social dysfunction? Some. But not much. Besides, it seems to me that if someone is going to cally you names, why not co-opt the negative and make it positive? --Ben Cameron Johnson wrote: > Here's a question that a fr
