Wouldn't that make you a geek? Not a nerd?
I never got the difference between those two.
How I see it is:
A nerd is more number-oriented (programming/math/etc., higher-level tech/engineering (mechanics of a design))
A geek is more culturally acquainted (Movies/games/toys and casual tech. Usually focused on design/art.)
A dork is a social outcast with unique traits (An odd person that finds most ignored/unnoticable things desirably interesting, and is a fanatic about it. Coin collectors of sorts or sampler types or something. It's kinda a broad area. Mostly an awkard class which can blend in with A or B, but can turn into a D if used as a form of mockery. Example: How the media portrays A-C 95% of the time.)
A dweeb is any-of-the-above-wannabe (Usually someone from a different caste trying to fit in. Mostly a celebrity-class, or someone claiming to be a gamer, though they have almost no experience with anything gaming-wise. Media portrayal of A, B, or C.)
A true genius is A-C minus the awkwardness associated with any of them, and is able to spot Ds easily. (Achieving this, and gloating about it will invariably turn you into an outcast. Reason: you would fit in more with a celebrity crowd that's usually followed by paparazzi. For being a jackass, you deserve it.)
I hope I didn't offend anyone with that observation.
Now that I think of it, I think I unintentionally mentioned this, that I came across some time ago:
Oddly enough, it supports my claim about media portrayal of Geeks/nerds/dorks/dweebs. What's with all the social ineptitude?
According to my observations, it's only a tad inaccurate.
