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.

"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. :)

I used to be a 'real' geek a long time ago.

But I'm afraid much has 'evaporated' out of my head over time. ;)

Post by: Hard_ROCKER on August 27, 2009, 12:00:00 PM: @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...

But I have never done #3:

Post by: scythe944 on August 29, 2009, 06:51:27 AM: 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.
