All rights reserved. definition of "geek" geek n. Slang A person regarded as foolish, inept, or clumsy. A person who is single-minded or accomplished in scientific or technical pursuits but is felt to be socially inept. A carnival performer whose show consists of bizarre acts, such as biting the head off a live chicken. geek y adj. Our Living Language Our word geek is now chiefly associated with student and computer slang; one probably thinks first of a computer geek. In origin, however, it is one of the words American English borrowed from the vocabulary of the circus, which was a much more significant source of entertainment in the United States in the 19th and early 20th century than it is now. Large numbers of traveling circuses left a cultural legacy in various and sometimes unexpected ways. For example, Superman and other comic book superheroes owe much of their look to circus acrobats, who were similarly costumed in capes and tights. The circus sideshow is the source of the word geek, “a performer who engaged in bizarre acts, such as biting the head off a live chicken.” We also owe the word ballyhoo to the circus; its ultimate origin is unknown, but in the late 1800s it referred to a flamboyant free musical performance conducted outside a circus with the goal of luring customers to buy tickets to the inside shows. Other words and expressions with circus origins include bandwagon (coined by P.T. Barnum in 1855) and Siamese twin. ---------------------------------------------------------------- 1...isnt this banter? 2...imma geek.. i love em chickin heads BAWK!

Lets see, according to that definition, I would need to be technically skilled and lacking in social abilities. I'm on the edge of that definition - I don't consider myself to be socially inedept, but certainly not exactly the life of a party And of course I'm a computer expert... that goes unsaid

[loose id]

I'm a geek. No job, livin' with the folks, no chick, not a whole lotta dough. There's worse things in life. Like going potty and not having any toilet paper. Plus no one's home, so you gotta waddle to the upstairs bathroom, but then the doorbell rings and the person can see through the frosted glass that somebody's inside, so you can't ignore that person, but still... your crater's startin' to itch... what do you do? what do you do? I'm sorry, I also have trouble staying on topic.

[kid robot]

i think we saw in the personality test in the lounge that the vast majority of the active people on this forum are either moderately or slightly expressed introverts... now being an introvert by no means labels you as a geek but it's a big step in the right direction. ohh ohh ohh and here's my list! 1. spends much of the day on computers. check. 2. bites the heads off of chickens. check. well, i guess i'm a geek! -jane

[Scwigglie]

I wouldn't mind being a LD geek either. I might as well be as geeky as possible now, cuz college starts soon and I'll have NO TIME!! Ahh!!

[Death-Wuad]

I'm a geek, there is no doubt about it. If anybody ever calls me a geek though, I'll bust your ass with a sledge hammer 38 times.
