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.
