Then there are snobs. It’s when you geek out over “sophisticated” or “more delicate” obsessions, like fine dining and Chopin and figure yourself to be superior to most others. You usually love sushi, listen to The Velvet Underground, and read Nietzsche. A subset of this would be record-store snobs, people who say, “The book was much better than the movie”, as well as many traveling chefs and ‘foodies’.

Really, I consider myself a snob which is in itself a category within geekdom. (I also have many punk and metal-head qualities, a profoundly cynical and misanthropic disposition, and I have a mohawk.) Geek–IMO–is simply obsession and extreme proficiency in one thing.

Does that mean jocks are also geeks?

nerd – someone who is passionate about learning/being smart/academia.

geek – someone who is passionate about some particular area or subject, often an obscure or difficult one.

dork – someone who has difficulty with common social expectations/interactions.

It only counts if, the first time you saw Start Trek 2, when the Enterprise emerges unexpectedly from behind the planet you yelled “The plane boss, the plane!”

Geeks: anyone who enjoys more than four of the following, and is an expert in at least one;

Anime (any series), Starwars, Star Trek, D&D (or any TTRPG), video games, LOTR, Dragonlance, Forgotten Realms, fantasy in general, trivia (any subject except Harry Potter), reading, Legos, Robots (sci-fi), and comic books. (not comprehensive)

you may consider yourself a power-geek if you specialize in two or more.

Nerds: same rules as Geeks, except different list to select from;

Math, Science, Computer Hacking/building/repairing/scripting etc., engineering, Physics (I know it’s a science but it deserves special mention), writing, photography, History, and Robots… (real ones).

Dorks are simply lower level geeks or nerds that don’t know it. in fact, you are a higher level dork the more you refuse the title.

I personally am a Power Geek and a nerd, and not a dork. (I think.)

What’s the label for all who have argued the difference between dork/geek/nerd? Or those like me who are looking for the definitive answer?

Yeah, this sounds like most of my parties. Esp, the expensive equipment part and the unreleased movies.

…nerd, dork, geek… Personally I pride myself on being a dweeb. I fit Jon’s definition of dorks and geeks, and I also have absolutely no sense of style to boot.

“There’s a lot of expensive equipment, a fire pit, a lot of drunk people, and nothing gets broken.”
This one goes best for me and my friends.
P.S. I don’t like Star Trek, Star Wars on the other hand….
