Cool, Geeks, Dorks, and Nerds

Are you a Geek or a Nerd?

Definitions:

Geek: I hate Homework... So I will make a MMORPG and play it!!!

Nerd: Yay! Homework! Yay! Star Trek!

Cool: I make fairly good grades. I'm a great athelete. Most everybody likes me. Oh yeah. LEATHER JACKETS!!! (We couldn't find a cool person to do this one so we hired a dork)

Dork: Stupid F's. I guess I'll play a video game, or just play basketball and win! (He will not win at basketball and will only get past the first level in the videogame)

Pretty much right, but Nerds is wrong. Geeks like Star Trek. BTW, I'm a total geek. You forgot preppys, though.

Im a geek. But nerds general only like school.

Hmm. I'm probably a dork.

Eh, I don't think I'm any of those. I get straight As, but I don't like homework, and I'm not a very good athlete.

I was a band geek...or band nerd...we used the terms interchangeably and didn't really define them to the extent that this thread does. But I chose geek here, since that most accurately describes how I was (got good grades, didn't like homework, wasn't very social IRL but learned to be social online).

Do you like video games, and the internet?

ed 'lim' smilde · **Posted:** Mon Jul 17, 2006 12:58 am

Well, uh... I like the Internet and computers... and math and SPORTS!!! and I play some music.
I dunno what that fits under, so I'm picking 'cool' :eekdance:

1. It's not 1975 anymore, EVERYBODY loves video games these days.
2. Same goes for the internet, but 1994 instead.

Yeah, now adays, like EVERYONE goes on the internet. It's like, better than real life.

</Just kidding>

I would say geek, but I dislike MMORPG's.

I shall not be labeled as some kind of a stereotype!

(I voted geek.)

I'm more of an idiot. I get fairly good grades, barely play video games, hate homework, hate MMORPGs, and I'm a okay athlete. So I don't fit in any of these. So I'll just pick some random one.

I'm closet to a geek but I think it would be hard for me to make a game.

Schmelen · **Posted:** Mon Jul 17, 2006 12:36 pm

Nerd/Dork. I'm kind of a nerd, but I'm not smart enough. It's kinda sad... I feel sorry for myself.
But for some reason, among my friends and I, a nerd is a cool person, who knows a lot about nerdy/geeky things.

Funkstar · **Posted:** Mon Jul 17, 2006 12:44 pm

Geek (for computers) and cool (because I do well in school and have a large circle of friends). And I like leather jackets.

J-Man · **Posted:** Mon Jul 17, 2006 12:45 pm

Being geeky/nerdy seems to be pretty popular nowadays. A time-traveller from the 70's would probably be shocked.

I'm a geek. I hope I am not a dork. Dorks are the worst out of all of those.

Krazed Squirell · **Posted:** Tue Jul 18, 2006 4:13 am

I think I'm a geek according to Weststarrunners post although I don't play MMORPG"s. I've always thought as geeks being nerds minus the practical smarts which is me to a T, so I'll go with that.

According to Wesstarrunner's post, I am "cool".

Just a few adjustments.....

Pyro. I knew some guys at college you'd like--view the world less from an interacter's point of view and more from an observer's point of view; few things seem to phase them; intelligent but not pressured to "live up to potential,"; take simple pleasure in things burning. Funnily enough, almost all the pyros I know are like that.

I'm a geek. I'll admit it.

It's not a bad thing. Being a geek is something to be proud of!
SUPPORT YOUR ROOTS!!! Or something motivational like that.

I don't really fall under any of those catregories.

ikwaylx · **Posted:** Thu Jul 20, 2006 3:56 pm

In some cases I'm cool. I have a large amount of freinds and can act cool.

Yet I may be a geek in some cases because I'm usually bored so I just go on a PC.....

I think I'm more geek than cool though......

Acekirby · **Posted:** Fri Jul 21, 2006 7:17 pm

None of those apply to me. I'd have to do what Ninti did, and change stuff.

I'm my own category, the weirdo.

The weirdo's description is:

Cheese, buckets, APOSTROPHE! Hooray for Tuesday! Dogs, mushrooms, Jick, bunnies, apricots, icecream!

Cow.

Ah, yes...this is what was missing from the poll--the kids who think it's cool or funny for some reason to act as if you have severe mental problems...as if things like mental retardation or schizophrenia are just big jokes.
