The funny thing is, in my experience, 'geek' is the derogatory term and
'nerd' is the term of praise. I get called 'nerdy' by my non-computer
literate friends, and amongst my comp-literate friends we call each
other 'nerd'. 'Geek', I feel holds negative connotations; it sounds too
much like 'freak'.
Nerd is Nice,
Geek is Grotesque.
