It's practically the same. | ||

It's practically the same. It depends on where you're from I think. In general I think it has been getting better but the meaning of those words definitely depends on the demographic and whatnot. But yeah both nerd and geek aren't exactly fantastic haha. I think, technically speaking, geek is supposed to be better but I'm not sure; geek just meaning someone who is into computers/tech usually and nerd meaning someone who cares too much about studies (to use the more derogatory defintions). | ||

I think both immidiately bring up an image of a pimply, pasty, white single man who lives in his mom's basement and spends all his time in front of his computer for a lot of people. There's another definition for people involved in e-sports. Especially so after normal looking casters and interviewed members of the crowd identify themselves as 'nerds', but it's still a very derogatory term to use in a TV broadcast I would think. This clip was really good though other than that! Gangnam style! haha ^^ | ||
