I’m taking Geek back!


I often refer to myself as a Geek, this is good as I am proud to be a Geek.

One thing I have noticed is that when I refer to myself as a Geek to a normal human, they seem to think it’s some sort of derogatory term.

I think the word Geek belongs to us (Geeks), so if you’re a Geek you can call yourself and other Geeks a Geek.  But it could be rude depending on the tone, for a normal human to refer to you as a Geek (or for you to call a normal human a Geek).

Hmm..  I shall continue to ponder this.

    kia ora, geeky brother.

    I am also a geek.

    Yup. Comfortable with my geeky girl status, and aware that we shall inherit the earth.

    I support you.
