What is the difference between...

[rice cracker]

A nerd, a geek, a dork, and a dweeb?

The pantheon of sub-groups. Discuss.

Nerd is a booksmart person whose primary focus is academics. Geek has a high affinity for computers, electronics and video games (or is that a techie?). Dork is a less offensive term for "dumbass," and is sometimes used as a term of endearment for liked or loved "dumbasses." Dweeb is a somewhat bothersome or irritating dork.

Are we required to compare and contrast?
I could come up with some personal examples pretty fast.
Should we use some illustration
From the yellowworld nation?
Or would nerds, geeks, dorks and dweebs feel harassed?

Difference between a geek and a dork (http://forums.yellowworld.org/showthread.php?t=11717)

Dork has the dubious distinction of being the affectionate term for a sexual organ and a name-calling descriptor. Kinda like "dick". However, Dick can also be a man's name.

Unlike "cock", which can be used in name calling, can be used to describe a sexual organ, and can be used to describe a type of bird. But being "cocky" does not mean you've got cock.

Interestingly, a nerd, dork, geek, and a dweeb might make this observation.

Yes, I wrote this. Here are my definitions. If you don't fit, then you aren't really a nerd/geek/dork/dweeb, or you could be a combination of all:

Nerd= Smart, possibly with some geek traits. There are also "cool nerds" who are smart w/good grades but do everything else preppy/as a jock. A nerd's popularity/social outlook isn't as limited as the other groups.

Geek= Likes techie things, usually the person you find playing online RPGs. They generally don't get good grades even though they can be inherently smart. Since geeks are of no use to the jocks/preps (i.e. for science answers), they're usually left out in the circle of things among the "popular" people and socialize amongst themselves.

Dork= Someone who isn't too much into technology at all and they also aren't smart. They have the most trouble issues, and many experience phases of trying to fit in. They aren't an organized group, and usually latch on to geeks or nerds for social support.

Dweeb= A nerd or geek with an attitude. Usually arrogant, they may be the annoying radical left/right trying to press his/her political views on your more moderate mind. They're lucky that they're laws against starting public beatings, because many of them deserve one.

So what about "lame"?
