 akarra rated 19 months ago- I'm voting this up even though I agree with arleas - this is a load of nonsense. Geeks have a good vocabulary? Lots of money? Can fix stuff? Good taste in music?

12. You're slow and fat and easy to catch

I mean really, what is a geek by this guy's description? Someone who enjoys something? There are more geeks than I thought. Enough to make this completely worthless.

- The author of this article has a very broad sense of the word geek...perhaps he/she is trying to remove the negative stereotype of a skinny greasy kid with thick glasses... But again, this is all stereotypes of another sort... I would prefer to think of someone as being an individual rather than another "geek" or whatever...even if I might think of someone as geeky, I'm not going to say they're exactly like all the rest...

I mean, some of those things could be true, but the author is asserting that one or more are absolutely true. And that's just nonsense. At some point, one uses the word "geek" to refer to rantings like mine: obnoxious and trivial and maybe even learned to some degree.
