By definition, a geek is someone with a specific niche interest/lifestyle that they have become the expert on. They’re the type that enjoy [the early adoption of new] technology and walk around sporting ironic t-shirts that make us chuckle as they pass by.Nerds, on the other hand, have an extreme fascination with academics and have the ability to make people feel they’re as mentally inept as nerds tend to be socially. Their interests may include Chess, Physics, LARPing, and Battlestar Galactica.
Interestingly enough, 41% of people would be comfortable being called a “geek”, while only 24% would be okay being referred to as a “nerd”.
