I’ll answer your question if you give a straightforward definition of the word “geek”.

According to Dictionary.com, a geek is:

  1. a peculiar or otherwise dislikable person, esp. one who is perceived to be overly intellectual.
  2. a computer expert or enthusiast (a term of pride as self-reference, but often considered offensive when used by outsiders.)
  3. a carnival performer who performs sensationally morbid or disgusting acts, as biting off the head of a live chicken.

A computer geek

I’m verging on “wannabe-nerdish” but haven’t reached (nor really aspire to) true geekdom.

Here’s another one for you to think about …

pretend-a-tech

“This is a person who knows a little more than the average person about computers but not enough to truly be helpful. Usually someone who knows enough to be dangerous or harmful to a computer or it’s software but never truly fix an issue.”

I really liked that definition. :slight_smile:

I used to be a ‘real’ geek a long time ago.

But I’m afraid much has ‘evaporated’ out of my head over time. :wink:

@hlecter: There seems to be alot of pretend-a-tech’s on this forum lately, doing more harm than good with their advice if you ask me. Seems to me we’ve lost quite a few real “geeks” in the past year or two. But i am getting off-topic now…

Definitely not a geek, but I thank all the computer geeks in this forum who helps us non-geeks so much.

Not a computer expert.

Not “definition #1”

Not “definition #3”

I hope none of these posts are related to me though…^^ ;D

I guess I am a geek, because I want to change the title to, “Do you think you’re a geek”.

Notice the correction in grammar, lol.

Other than that, I don’t care what you define geek as, I am truly one.

Maybe I should coin a new phrase, “I geek, therefore I am.” No, that sounds nasty.
