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.

Don't these contradict most of what you and others have said in this thread? 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.

Cool Wikipedia agrees with me.
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.

Both are low on the social ladder both have friends but the geeks are just out there.

Naa. Nerds are school and tech smart both. Geeks are just social awkward.
Dork is more of an endearing term. 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.

I always thought of a dork as someone who's just clueless as to their surroundings and social circles, etc.
[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.
