I'm sure it's all an enormous private joke really. Anyway, surely Dr. Flack knows about GEEK PRIDE? They need a flag. 1 Top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first is a blanket accusation and a 'hate' crime has come to mean anything emotionally displeasing. Hands down the most ridiculous comment you've ever made.

I thought that calling someone a "geek" is a compliment. Only to people under 40. I am over 60 and when I was growing up nerd was the term used and we felt proud of it, though we got a lot of flak from the jocks (as if they knew enough about anything to tease anyone for anything), geek was still a crazy carnival guy who bit the heads off of chickens and snakes.

I will never consider myself a geek because I am old and have a different definition for geek and monsoon (the redefinition of monsoon really irks me as it is based on ignorance of one weather forcaster, I sort of get the redefinition of geek, as it used to be uncool and weird to be smart and like science) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
