Geeks and Nurds...and others

[Moses]

Ok guys [girls as well]: since all of us are "nice" PF member, and Uncle Greg will be "not happy" if somenbody is lying, i wanna ask:

Are you, and or least you think, A Geek or A Nurd?

I was a former "Geek Nurdy wanna be" then i found it difficult to become so...even i am hard worker..but i appreciate the "Too much hard workers" efforts to make us have a happy life...making weapons of mass distruction...and made be communicate with people i might will never see in my life [may be in the after life] from my house :biggrin:

[arildno]

I'm not a Turd, but possibly a Nerd..

[Zeteg]

Lol... turd. Grand.

It's difficult to say really. I mean, I don't really try in school, I make stupid mistakes (last test, I copied down 2 questions wrong............), but I tend to extremely well on things I care about (not art). I make nerdy jokes all the time, which is actually pretty funny (I think)... hmm... but I'm also fare quite well in most sports...

Can I be both? :D

[dekoi]

I'm a geek. I think. :S

[arildno]

Lol... turd.
It's not my fault his spelling is atrocious in all his posts..:grumpy:

[tribdog]

Is this a question where I'm supposed to choose "geek" or "nerd" and those are the only two choices? or is it a yes/no question? Growing up I was a nerd, then sometime after graduation I suddenly became good looking, and wasn't a nerd. now I am starting to get back into the books and nerd stuff, but I come across as being not a nerd, but superior.

[The Bob]

I thought I was both but I was told I was neither and just very intelligent. Interesting. :tongue2:

I thought that was funny. guess I'm a nerd too.

[BoulderHead]

I habitually forget the difference between the two and sometimes may ask for someone to clue me back in again. At this point I don’t know which one I’d be but I’m thinking neither.

[JasonRox]

I'm trying to be a nerd. :(

[Tsu]

If I'm married to a nerd, does that count? and does it also make me guilty by association? :eek:

[franznietzsche]

Yes Tsu, it does. Sorry.

Doesn't a guy geek wear high-water pants and his belt half-way up his chest? (Picturing Bill Murray as Todd on SNL's Todd and Lisa skits. Gilda Radner's Lisa was a perfect girl geek) :rofl: :rofl: Nerds are the brainy science types. (or am I dating myself here, and this has all changed?) :grumpy:

I dress sociably, ergo I am am a nerd, not a geek. Geek = poor social out cast. Nerd = person who should be, but is just sly enough to slip into society when he feels like it.

[vsage]

I dress in plaid shirts every day so that probably classifies me as a geek. They are Gap shirts though. I probably am a social outcast but it's mostly my own doing. I'm a social butterfly in the summertime but in school it's all business so there's more evidence of geekdom. I don't like scifi or D&D-type things though. I tried :biggrin:

[franznietzsche]

I tried :biggrin:

You failed.

B+.

[Tsu]

Yes Tsu, it does. Sorry.
:eek: :eek: I was afraid so...

[tribdog]

I thought a geek was someone who bit the heads off of live chickens and stuck ice picks up their nose.

Do you have health insurance?

[Tsu]

Well, I was hoping to avoid the 'real' definition. Leave it to tribdog... :biggrin:

NEXT!

[Gokul43201]

Do you have health insurance?

Yeah, it's called the "I'll take whatever Ozzie's got" insurance.

[franznietzsche]

Yeah, it's called the "I'll take whatever Ozzie's got" insurance.

Then you can pay for tribdog's therapy.

[jimmy p]

I'm too dumb to be either. What does that make me? (other than thick)

[Colby]

If you're socially unaccepted as well as dumb, according to definition you would be a "dweeb". Haha, I mean, who actually makes these definitions up?

[Entropy]

Everyone here is a nerd. Come on, this is a physics forum! But that doesn't mean you can't be a hansom, popular, body-building scientist like me. :tongue2:

Of course it doesn't. But our commitment to science does. We aren't allowed to violate the laws of physics. Noteven the ones i make up so that my schizoid hallucinations make sense.

We aren't? Damn!
what am I supposed to do with this new warp drive engine I just invented?
