because plenty of people add false meanings, and sometimes they get through.

Here we go.




That was the definition I was going for, worded much better by dictionary.com.

From the same website-





It's only one of the definitions provided at dictionary.com.

In my school (Its a middle school 6th grade to 8th grade) people usually call nerds those who are smart, unattractive and also weird. I'm not sure if it's the right defenition, but a lot of people seem to think that way.

Beat me to the definitions...oh well...I find the word, techinically both mean about the same thing of what I see.

That's pretty much my definition of the two. People at my school don't really use those words.

"Geek" and "nerd" are a sign of honor to me. I'm weird, though...

I always thought a nerd was someone who was book smart, and knew a lot about useful things.

A geek was something specific, like band geek for instance. (Yeah, I'm totally just pulling that out of no where...lol. ) Band geeks really like being in band, and it takes up a lot of their time.

I am proud to be both.

_________________

I don't call people nerds or geeks, so I don't have my own definition. But by popular definition in my school, I'm a big nerd and I'm proud

_________________

Geek: A usually secluded person, who is often very intelligent and unappreciated. Tends to obsess over things, and might not be the perfect student but gets good grades.

Nerd: Mostly the same, but gets all good grades, makes inventions, and tends to obsess with Star Trek and stuff. Also tends to have less friends.

_________________

When I think of a geek, I think of a computer geek, but it can also mean someone who's just knowledgeable and specialized in any area. For nerd, I think of someone who studies a lot and is especially into math and science.
