geek vs nerd
When I was a kid, nerd was used to insult someone for any reason, sort of like the word doofus that later replaced it. When I was a kid. A geek was a special insult for someone who played D&D, still read comic books, read Star Trek novels and often wore glasses. Geeks could be nerds but only special nerds could be geeks. I think I have hung onto that definition in this whole Geek vs Nerd debate. For example, us giggling at last week's KungFu Friday was because we are geeks for schlock cinema but the nasally voices outside debating the finer merits of the movie were nerds. We are going to have a rumble in the alley.

And by "rumble" you mean toss really heavy 20-sided dice, right?
