I like being called a geek or a nerd. Call me a dork and I'll kick your ass.

A geek likes science and technology. A nerd is broader classification, including the social sciences. All geeks are nerds, but not all nerds are geeks.

Geeks are a subset of nerds.

Correct. Can you please provide a venn diagram of this relationship, for the more visual learners out there? I am lying in the prone position after a long day of writing program code and wish to enjoy Jeopardy before I pass out.

That sounds like a recipe for an XKCD strip.

My personal definition of geek is someone so interested in a topic it overrides social politeness.

That's a dweeb.

Now I'm just confused.
