If not a nerd, what about a loser or geek?
Me, I’m a lam-o. I think that would be a cross between a nerd and a geek.
What are you?
Nerd. I like gaming, graphic novels, and science fiction/fantasy novels. Also, I’m a smarty-pants. I dig nerdy guys, too.
I am more of a geek than a nerd, although I have a number of nerdish characteristics.
[side story]My Speech Team has t-shirts that read across the front “Yucaipa High School Speech Geek.” On the back it says “At least we aren’t band nerds!”

I’m a geeky, slacker, hippy, loser. Nerdonomic, but not nerdy.
I’m the Dude, dude.
I’m just … you know, I’m … me, man. Can’t we, like, stop with all the labels?
Oh, crap. Does that make me a hippy?
I’m too sociable to be a nerd, too private to be an extrovert, too opininated to stay introverted, much too much of a luddite to be a geek. I’m too urbane to be provincial, too successful to be a loser, too laid back to be a workaholic, too reckless to be shy and too interested to be indifferent.
I defy your clumsy efforts at characterization.
Yet… my response is the nerdest thing I’ve read on the boards today.
I was a nerd in high school. Now I’m more of a geek.
What about us Wonks? Won’t somebody think of the Wonks?

I’d say you were probably a dork or doofus then.
My girlfriend, at least 5 times daily: “You’re such a dork.”
I guess that settles it.
According to all the woman I ask out, I am a colossal geek.
I would say Geek. But I guess it depends on how these terms are defined.
Dear Og. I may be an embryonic wonk! :eek:
Social Outcast.
Yeah, I’m a nerd. I’m a bit of a geek, but only when it comes to videogames. I’m not that much of a dork, these days.

I usually define myself as a geek. I learn programming languages for fun (I spent parts of yesterday learning J, which is Iverson’s sequel to APL. Very fun language for math geeks.), I count Hofstadter as one of my favorite authors (I got Metamagical Themas as a Christmas present! Hooray!!!), Lehrer as one of my favorite musicians, and I download and run PDP-11 emulators just so I can write K&R C using ed and sed under V7 Unix. I think RSTS/E was an improvement over many of its successors (I’m looking at you, CP/M.) and don’t know why we need Java when we have Scheme and Common Lisp (If you’re gonna bloat, you might as well give the developers a nice language.).
Oh, and I’m currently using the Kazehakase web browser, simply because I can.
Dork. Dick. Yeah.
Me in highschool? Geek, nerd, hippy, doofus, brainiac, artsy-fartsy, wallflower, and happy as a pig in schit. And I had a lot of friends, since my ‘fellows’ outnumbered the Jocks and Princesses
Now, I’d say ‘popular nerd’ sums it up
I have dorkish, geeky interests and tendencies. But I keep it hidden, usually. I’m pretty social, but never really stick with one group.
I’m a successful and married older geek. Computer Programmer, I can build a working computer from spare parts for fun, I can quote obscure baseball trivia, and I read Wikipedia & Scientific America for fun. I am a die-hard Tolkien & Heinlein fan. I even still play D&D sometimes.
I was a social Nerd in High school. The Nerd that got along with almost everyone and I was the envy of my geekier and nerdier friends as I actually dated in High School. I was the organizer of the D&D Club and the 3rd board on the chess team when we won the Nationals. I was even in Model UN and a Math Team emergency member. Complete Nerd. Trekkie too.
My non-nerd features were being fairly handy with tools, dating and no comic books and joining the military after High School.
