What's on your mug?

Many people think that a geek is someone who is mainly interested in computers or comics and lacks adequate social skills. This is wrong. A geek was originally a member of a circus who at one time or another had homosexual experiences with someone else. Obviously this word and many others have changed. As previously said, a geek seems to mean someone who invests a large amount of time into either technical subjects or things related to comics, video games and/or science fiction and fantasy subjects. There are many more parts of being a geek though. A geek is someone who places a large amount of time into anything - as long as it can be said that somebody places an extraordinary amount of time into a certain subject they are geeks. Ergo, someone who is heavily invested into music, movies, or porn is a geek. This definition doesn't especially attack any group. Nay, it puts everybody on the same level as everybody is a geek. History buffs are geeks, as well as Beliebers. One doesn't have to look at themselves in shame when they consider themselves geeks, but as people with a passion that they are proud of and aren't ashamed to admit.

"That person is such a geek; they are interested in (insert subject)" so much."

A geek is a nerd with a social life/skills. They usually have an odd personality.

Everyone knows that geek.

A Geek Should NEVER be Confused With a Nerd. Geeks are different in that they do possess social skills, albeit Bizarre ones. Geeks like Star Trek, etc, but also have friends usually, among the mosher/goth community, if not other geeks. A geek is usually physically weak, but his/her goth/mosher friends will often stand up for him/her, as the geek usually puts his friends first. They have a pathological hatred of Townies, [Preps}, and Chavs, and tend to have good taste in music i.e. Punk. They do not get on With Nerds, but will unite with them to pick on dorks, unfortuneately.

Joey Ramone was a geek and was picked on, but he became a Rock Star and a legend. If the Geeks were to Unite, Millions of Chavs would die. Horribly.

Someone who spends a lot of time on the computer, watching sci-fi, reading fanasty but DOES have an actual life. Not to be confused with a NERD who also does these things but does NOT have a life. Nor to be confused with a DORK, whom both the geeks & the nerds beat up.

Someday Mr.Gates wishes to be a geek instead of a dork posing as a nerd.
