Are you a Nerd or Geek?

[Jerold]

Watch the video then respond. Big Nerd and Nerd are in the same grouping but feel free to comment in the thread.

That guy’s funny. I think I’m equal parts nerd and geek. If Apple products corresponded to Geek, then yeah…Geek all the way. Except for the Smart car.

 

[Jerold]

It's probably geography dependent too. In the Nerd Kingdom of Silicon Valley I can be one of the cool kids, but probably a Geek in Utah.

Although I would be a great stalker in any location, I mean I'm just saying?

The actual word nerd was considered offensive as recent as the '90s and it took a lot of work (and nerd money) for us to get recognition as a litigate social group. So I don't let my wife use the word Nerd, because she is not one of us.

Funny stuff. I'm a stalker. Nerds and geeks share the common attribute of being smart.

 

[SrC]

I am more of Gerk.

 

[Johnny b]

I am Groot!

 

[Tex Koder]

call me Q*bert

 

[Doom!]

I'm just a lazy slob.

 

[SrC]

At least we are all honest here......

There was no option for dumbass, so I picked dork.

I've seen that one. Hilarious. Of the options given, a Nerd. Never thought I'd say that.

In context of his self-deprecation humor, i did get a good laugh from the video.
When I turn on my rational mode, I could think of a few more relevent dimensies other than IQ, socially ackward and obsession.

I mean a hacker, model train enthousiast and a beercoaster collector can all be labeled as a nerd. I certainly would not like to be associated by at least one of those

 

[King blitz]

I'm neither of the above choices..it's missing a option. Spammer

Dumbass is a tall order. Did you check ALL the boxes?

I like to build frame up custom build bicycles. I built up a nice one with a Donor Trek Frame for my son. Paint and all.
His friends call me a Bicycle Nerd. I don't get it. I'm just a gear head all around, that has all the tools you would find in a High end bike shop. I can build bicycle wheels... with my Park Tool Wheel truing machine....that makes me a Nerd??? Not many bicycle shops can even build wheels any more, Just quick to sell you a new wheel when one spoke snaps.
