Definition of geek?

[anon(8150199)]

I wanna know the up-to-date definition of geek lol since I don't live in an English-speaking country. And are we WPC folks geeks too?

Well here's the 'latest' definition: Geek - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

So to answer you question, yes some on here are geeks.

A geek has Spider-Man pajamas, Coke bottle glasses, a poster of Einstein on his bedroom wall and has never had a date (with a real person).

 

[Ashish Gupta888]

A geek is someone wearing spectacles and having books explaining laws of gravity or relativity in his arms. Someone who dreams about a house in galaxy or someone who tries to automate every ******* thing with technology around him

Those are some old definitions of geek. Not saying they don't exist but I don't think that's the usual thinking these days.

I guess I'm not a geek then. I wear glasses but no longer play any games.

Wait.... Something doesn't seem right. These definitions sound like a nerd, not a geek.
