geek :
n .
A person who has chosen concentration rather than conformity ;
one who pursues skill (
especially technical skill )
and imagination ,
not mainstream social acceptance .
Geeks usually have a strong case of neophilia .
Most geeks are adept with computers and treat hacker as a term of respect ,
but not all are hackers themselves —
and some who are in fact hackers normally call themselves geeks anyway ,
because they (
quite properly )
regard ‘
hacker ’
as a label that should be bestowed by others rather than self -
assumed .
One description accurately if a little breathlessly enumerates “
gamers ,
ravers ,
science fiction fans ,
punks ,
perverts ,
programmers ,
nerds ,
subgenii ,
and trekkies .
These are people who did not go to their high school proms ,
and many would be offended by the suggestion that they should have even wanted to .”
Originally ,
a geek was a carnival performer who bit the heads off chickens . (
In early 20th -
century Scotland a ‘
geek ’
was an immature coley ,
a type of fish .)
Before about 1990 usage of this term was rather negative .
Earlier versions of this lexicon defined a computer geek as one who eats (
computer )
bugs for a living —
an asocial ,
malodorous ,
pasty -
faced monomaniac with all the personality of a cheese grater .
This is often still the way geeks are regarded by non -
geeks ,
but as the mainstream culture becomes more dependent on technology and technical skill mainstream attitudes have tended to shift towards grudging respect .
Correspondingly ,
there are now ‘
geek pride ’
festivals (
the implied reference to ‘
gay pride ’
is not accidental ).
