Geek vrs Nerd
|
I saw a post a while back on this subject and as I have a class of Geeks who asked for some clarification, ended up doing some research on the subject. I found this.  |

Love it! I asked my son about this. He commented that he knows loads of people who would describe themselves as geeks, but no-one wants to be called a nerd! You can have a fun night out with geeks, but run for the hills if you get stuck with nerds! (And a nerd wouldn�t care if you did!)

Fascinating. How would we classify the characters from "The Big Bang Theory"? Leonard is a Geek and Sheldon is a Nerd? Any opinions? |

I think they are both nerds (Raj and Howard too). Nerds are often geeks too? |
