I've always seen nerd as pejorative, geek as a reclaimed term, but Slashdot's done a pretty good job with the former term as well...

Still more of a math/IT thing than geek, though.

So in other words, Hound?

Fine, fine... "geekier", then. Though I doubt either of us bite the heads off of chickens.

edit: pwnage!

[hound]: I'm so going to win that
[hound]: You automatically lose nerd points for being a chick
[me]: Maybe. We'll see what the people have to say!
[hound]: Well unless this was a board populated almost entirely by women, in which case we'd be even but it's not
[me]: bah. We'll see who bakes the cupcakes around here.
[hound]: When was the last time you posted about which is better Marvel or DC comics?! Huh!?
[hound]: Oh wait...
[me]: bah!
[hound]: http://www.tfarchive.com/community/show ... post578000
[hound]: I got this!
[me]: I didn't say "who is more of a loser" or "who has more spare time ont heir hands", I said "Who is nerdier"

[hound]: I ahte you so much
[hound]: so much I can't even type "hate" correctly
[hound]: I'm gonna go cry now
[me]: I LOLed

I'd like to point out I can see who voted for whom and I'm the mean one...

I'd like to point out that I outrank Hound...

No particular reason, I just like doing it.

French dictionary defines a geek as "one who is interested in innovations and new things". Ad libbed but it's something beside the point like that... it gains plus points for "blessed are the geek" too.

I don't use nerd as a pejorative personally, and make liberal usage of the "or" in "unstylish, unattractive, or socially inept person" bit. Besides, this whole forum thing is a fascinating way of creating social communities using new methods at our disposal. I don't see anyone here as socially inept... that said, I reckon Hound lurks more than saysadie, so he gets my vote.

'Cos the girl nerds got to stick together: one for saysadie.

Sorry, Hound. Don't take it personally; it's just the natural sex bias thing.

Yeah, sex always makes me totally biased.

Though I think it's absurd to opine that girls can't be as nerdy as guys, and though I haven't enough personal knowledge to even make an informed opinion on the matter, yet because saysadie seems concerned that hound may indeed be nerdier than she is I'll have to side with her.

It takes a measure of pride and/or professionalism in a matter to evidence such concern.

I voted for Sadie as she once said she'd kill Hound for some Go-Bot drawings. And she doesn't even like Go-Bots.

Sorry H, I had to vote for Sadie, she's a girl - I like girls more than boys.
In all fairness geekiness is a far more entertaining attribute for a woman to have.

Hound likes hockey and Comics

Sadie plays Warhammer.

Sadie is the geekier.
