Nerd = someone who's inordinately knowledgeable in a subject of some
sort
(can be things as disparate as computers, movies, music, sports, opera,
etc)
Geek = someone who thinks he's a Nerd, but isn't
This is the way I've always differentiated it, and judging by the other
replies, I am alone in doing so. It seems most people have the opposite
opinion. I've always associated geek with a negative connotation, but
not nerd.
I'm not really either one, I'm just a wannabe :)
