    geek = someone that KNOWS they are a geek, whereas a nerd is someone that DOESN"T know they are? :D

    While the comic has the historical context more or less correct, I think it leaves out the vital hierarchical structure between all of those terms.

    It looks something like this:

    [code]
    nerd
    |
    | dork
    |
    |
    geek
    [/code]
    All geeks are by nature nerds, but not all nerds are geeks.

    Dorks have no hierarchical relation to either; there only happens to be a small amount of cultural overlap that has become an association in the minds of mundanes.

    Cyclical definitons are bad. :)

    To me, a geek is someone who delights in things like technology, computers, science, or just general knowledge, but also has decent social skills.

    A nerd is someone who is unhealthily obsessed with technology, computers, science or some other area of knowledge, and lacks basic social skills.

    To me, a nerd is someone who is interested in learning and education, and who does well in school.

    A geek is someone who usually fits all the requirements for nerd, but is also very interested in technology, computers especially.

    To me, a nerd is someone who does what society expects of them, and not a whole lot else, whereas a geek is the unique type of person who doesn't care was society thinks. Social skills of all levels are possible for either type.

    If you're apologizing for finding this funny, you clearly have learned nothing about this place.

    Begone!
