Dorks, geeks, and nerds: It's time to tell the difference

The terms dweeb, dork, geek, and nerd tend to be flung about carelessly, with very little discrimination about shades of meaning. I found this appalling, because no dweeb wants to be mentioned in the same breath as a nerd and nor does a geek want to be confused as a dork. If you’re a little lost, I don’t blame you. Happily for your understanding, an attempt has been made to settle this nice point of taxonomy by classifying the four types by combinations of three variables: intelligence, obsession, and social ineptitude.

Geek: intelligence + obsession
Dork: obsession + social ineptitude
Dweeb: intelligence + social ineptitude
Nerd: all three

My two cents on the matter: we are all people just looking for a small place in this world where we can be accepted. Use this information not to clarify your insults, but to be sensitive to there feelings. Let’s face, nobody likes to hear that they are lumped into a group which clearly they do not feel apart of. That’s my two cents, keep the change
