Which is Smarter Geeks or Nerds?

Answer 1

A geek can be cool; a nerd can't. It may seem like an oxymoron, but I'm considered a preppy geek. I love comics, sci-fi, the net, and other geek stuff, but I also have plenty of friends and I love shopping, style, etc. This is often called geek chic.

A nerd is not usually well-adjusted to society; a nerd's friends are almost exclusively other nerds. Nerds are often smarter than geeks.

A geek doesn't have to be smart. He can just like wierd things. Most often nerds are the smart ones. So a smart geek would really just be a nerd but and a stupid nerd is probably not a nerd but just a geek.

also a geek waits outside a movie theater for 4 hours waiting for the Harry Potter premiere, a nerd on the otherhand goes to the premiere dressed as Harry Potter.

see the difference ?

It depends on the individual person. A nerd or a geek, both words tend to mean the same thing. For more information about 'geeks' and how smart and successful they can be or become, see the page link, further down this page, listed under Related Questions.

Answer 3

The current usage of "geek" applies to someone with intellectual pursuits to the exclusion of more popular interests. Whereas a "nerd" is applied to those who are more socially withdrawn within such activities. Although it may seem like an oxymoron, one may be a "preppy geek" (i.e. interested in comics, sci-fi, the net but also adopting popular styles, also known as "geek chic"). A nerd is usually not well-adjusted to society; a nerd's friends are almost exclusively other nerds. Nerds are often smarter than geeks. A geek doesn't have to be smart. He can just like weird things. Most often nerds are the smart ones. So a "smart geek" is more likely a nerd, while a "stupid nerd" is probably not a nerd, but just a geek.

Example : a geek waits outside a movie theater for 4 hours waiting for the "Harry Potter" premiere; a nerd on the other hand goes to the premiere dressed as Harry Potter ----------- A geek is a person who carries pens and pencils in their pockets.

A nerd is a person who wears glasses and carries pens and pencils in their pockets.
