But I want to know the divine secrets of their sisterhood!

I haven't seen the movie, but I know the type. Doesn't it boil down to men suck and you can only really depend on your girlfriends?

But sadly, no cars were set on fire. And Sandra Bullock didn't drive a bus.
She loves you ya ya ya? Hey Ya? Opa!? Opal? Aha! This mysterious anonymous person is a spy from "All My Children" here to steal the storyline of Pooly giving Justin big boobies and us all laughing about it. I'm onto those rotten network spies...

Also, they get their grooves back. GAH! No "Stella" jokes, please! I got roped into watching that with four other women, and even THEY didn't want to finish it. Actually, might make for a good, angry review one day. If it didn't mean I'd have to see it again. Well, most of it. |

I'd just like to state I am a geek. Not a nerd, thankyouverymuch. I'm all super excited that Peter Jackson announced he'll actually be doing The Hobbit. hee!
Ok, I won't speak of it again, don't want this thread to head toward one of those discussions again.

Are you sure you're not a geek about just one other thing? Because two geek traits make a nerd. Posting regularly on a web forum counts for half a geek point.

My understanding of the geek/nerd distinction is that a geek is a recreational nerd, so to speak. Or, if you prefer, a nerd is a utilitarian geek. To put it another way: If a nerd possesses actual useful knowledge, a geek is just full of trivia.
Movie Example: Booger from Revenge of the Nerds. Though lumped under the nerd label, Booger was a consummate geek. He couldn't build robots or make computers do impossible things, he was merely a sarcastic, repulsive social outcast.
Geeks also like to quibble seriously about silly things.

I always go with the following distinction:
A Geek is exactly like a Nerd, but with ingrained social skills (however limited). A Nerd is exactly like a Geek but has no social skills whatsoever.
Which is why I'm proud to be a geek.

Or, you could go with the circus sideshow definition--geeks are people who do stuff like bite the heads off chickens, eat glass, or pound nails into their bodies. Their looked down on by freaks, who are the ones who can't help the way they are (bearded lady, midget, etc.).

My distinction is that a nerd is nothing more than a geek who is geeky about multiple subjects, and who has some level of inteligence. A stupid nerd is a freak (non-circus), but you can also be a freak about one or two geek subjects without losing your inteligent nerd status (or, if you only have one geek subject, your inteligent geek status). Social skills simply intensify or lessen the existing label, but don't change it.
So I'm a nerd.
