Nerds are smart people Geeks are obsessive about certain things. They can be dumb or smart.
What of you're smart but have bad grades because of laziness?
Nerd: Smart Geek: Computers and such We need a poll!
nerd is anyone who passionately pursues intellectual activities geek is pretty much just aspies
Holy shit, I just thought of something. Since Nerds and Geeks are smart enough, they warp and edit each other's images so that one seems better than the other. :psyboom:
I say nerds are school smart, geeks are tech smart, and can vary on the hotness/coolness scale. Dorks are fucking retards that everyone hates. Kinda like the kid who flicked a booger in someone's eye at my school.

I've always known geek to mean pretty much someone who just knows a lot about something or some subject, for instance, a computer geek is one who knows a lot about how one works, or knows how to program or something. Whereas I'd consider a dork or nerd to be similar to a geek, except they get the addition of being socially inept. Also, the above post.

Im not that bad of a geek...
I've always thought of nerds as being the same as geeks, but with a negative connotation. And geeks have a positive connotation. Looks like most people have the opposite opinion.

I remember this comic about a Snake and a Bird building hype for their game of chess. The Snake puts on a white shirt with a pocket protector. The Bird wears a Star Trek Shirt The Snake goes to a university, winds up with a degree in quantum physics The Bird gets a 5-day pass to a Comic Convention. The Snake is a nerd. The Bird was a geek.

I called the girl I like a dork, just because she was being random and crazy. A dork is just somebody who's being silly.

[QUOTE=Rammaster;21300568]Most of FP are composed of Nerds and Geeks.[/QUOTE] I'm probably not on either side, seeing as how I don't fit any of those categories. I play games but barely at all, as for school I half ass everything yet I still ace the tests somehow. And I sleep a lot in class too, so I don't even know how I do it.
Nerds are the ones with mates that like information, electronics and video games. Geeks are the loners that obsess and think their smart and/or better than everyone else. Well I'm really clueless to be honest.
