Affentitten Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 I got 46. It's pretty heavily rigged towards maths and computers as a sign of nerdiness, which I don't think is always a definitive attribute of a nerd. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Emrys Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 I always thought a nerd was defined as someone who was socially clueless and clumsy regardless of whatever their IQ or other accomplishments might have been.

Stalins Organ Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 A bit US-centric - I have a 3 year Bachelor Degree!! ME my kids know exactly what a nerd is, vs a geek and various other names - to them it is important to have the right label!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Emrys Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 So is someone who is say, an ACW freak a nerd or a geek? A geek. BTW, the meaning of that word has evolved radically. Formerly, the term referred to a carnival performer often billed as a wild man whose act usually includes biting the head off a live chicken, bat, snake or bugs. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geek Michael 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stalins Organ Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 wiki geek: The word geek is a slang term, noting individuals as "One who is perceived to be overly obsessed with one or more things including those of intellectuality, electronics, etc." Why not a nerd? From wiki: Nerd is a term that refers to a person who avidly pursues intellectual activities, technical or scientific endeavors, esoteric knowledge, or other obscure interests, rather than engaging in more social or conventional activities. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dieseltaylor Posted September 14, 2010 Author Share Posted September 14, 2010 Over at WeBoB someone scored: Overall, you scored as follows: 3% scored higher (more nerdy), 0% scored the same, and 97% scored lower (less nerdy). What does this mean? Your nerdiness is: All hail the monstrous nerd. You are by far the SUPREME NERD GOD!!! I thought I would post it here as I doubt that true nerdiness lies here 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Emrys Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 Possibly the best-known use of the word 'geek' in a work of art was Dylan's use in "Ballad of a Thin Man": You hand in your ticket And you go watch the geek Who immediately walks up to you When he hears you speak And says, "How does it feel to Be such a freak?" And you say, "Impossible!" as he hands you a bone Something is happening but you don't know what it is Do you, Mister Jones?
