Today we held some interviews with some very nice and helpful people in the centre of Utrecht. They all had one thing in common: they worked in gameshops (Warhammer, boardgames stuff, you know ;-)).
One of them immediately told us the differences between dorks, nerds and geeks. That was so cool and informative! It goes a little bit like this (and hit me up when I got something wrong!);
Geeks are the ones with very specialized knowledge, mainly focusing on one thing, for example Trekkers.
Nerds are the ones about collecting as much information as possible about all kinds of stuff. It doesn't really matter. For example they read complete manuals and speak fluent Klingon.
Dorks are the ones with a little social deficit. They can't come up with the right words, stumble, can't handle themselves around girls and so forth.
The whole idea behind this "system" of three is that no one is solely a nerd or a geek. Everybody (within this circle) has some traits from the three categories. Hence terms as "nerdish geeks" or "geekish nerds".
Can't wait to gather some more information! 8-)
we had fun with you guys 8D and we are looking forward (all of us) to help out when and where we can 8)
