    We call ourselves the Geek Twins, so the question obviously has come up, “What’s a geek?” What’s the difference between a geek and a nerd? What are geek movies and what are nerd movies? Where did the terms “geek” and “nerd” come from? This handy infographic answers all those questions and more.

      Not entirely sure where I fit in there. I mean I like some of the movies on both sides of the debate.

    2. Maurice Mitchell on December 26, 2012 5:29 am

      I don't entirely agree with it. Too many of the thing being separated fit both sides of the coin. I tend to think of nerds largely as intelligent but lacking greatly in social skills, etiquette, and a general awareness of people. Geeks are anyone with a compulsion that could be deemed "fanboy/fangirl-ish" and can range anywhere from movies and music to books and science. They have fine social skills, and can talk with just about anyone, it's just a question of if they want to.

      And it's that mentality that's made geeks cool now, whereas it was frowned up years before. Also here's a quick down for blogger's reference:

      Geeks: Comment something that contributes to the discussion of the post.
      Nerds: Comment something they find logical, but generally missing the point.
      B******s: Correct grammar and spelling in your posts.

      From my response, I guess you can see I fall into both categories.

      TS really gave it some thought!
      Mostly geek I guess. And I can see both sides seriously lacking in social skills.

    4. Maurice Mitchell on December 28, 2012 5:26 pm

      You could have just said 'Star Wars fans vs Star Trek fans'.

    5. Maurice Mitchell on December 28, 2012 8:48 pm

      It's a thorny question. That's why I made the "Both" option. I would have a hard time choosing.
