Do Your Friends Think You're a Nerd or a Geek?
Posted By: peter chao
I've always been thought of as a Nerd or a Geek. As a matter of fact I always hung around the smartest Nerds and Geeks in my high school (Lowell in SF), Cal (U.C. Berkeley), Boalt Hall (U.C. Berkeley). There was a reason for this, I thought I wasn't very smart, so I decided to hang around the smartest kids in school so that I would become smarter. |

hmmm....lol. no, was definately on the under spectrum of nerd or geek in school...just scraped by in classes due to enjoy outside activities moreso than education activities...was more into playing sports, football, wrestling, baseball than I was worried about trig or chemistry...collected cards as a kid up til about 10 years old....got back into cards the last couple years after needing some hobbies in marriage.. |

When he went back to college, Homer Simpson told Marge that there are two types of people on campus, nerds and jocks, and, as a jock, nerds were his mortal enemy. Of course, no one other than Homer would classify him as a jock. |

No, but my wife wonders why I spend so much time in a dark bathroom with my baseball cards and a black light. That is, you do not have to be a nerd in order to be looney. |

Peter, if you're worried that your online friends might think you're a nerd, just tell them you went to Berkeley and they'll think you're a hippie. |

I think Peter C adds more to this site (maybe more OT, but who's counting) than 90% of the people that look at it. He's sometimes off the wall but aren't we all, sometimes? Thanks for being a good board member Peter C, and also thanks for being the one person that gets picked on more than me ...and probably the one person that has thicker skin too. First soda is on me if we ever meet...As far as on topic.....nah, not really a nerd.....Just a hobby addict.... |

Collecting baseball cards does not necessarily make you a geek, but the act of collecting baseball cards itself is definitely geeky. Don’t have any delusions about it being considered “cool” by society. |

I see Leon's point but at the same time, when people get ripped to shreds for starting a post on a Mantle card because it isn't prewar, I don't understand the tolerance for threads of this nature. Maybe there should be a separate forum for O/T. |

Webster defines a nerd as an "unstylish, unattractive or socially inept person especially one slavishly devoted to intellectual or academic pursuits." While nerd, dork, and geek share in passionate intellectual pursuits and social ineptitude, nerd has the added implication of being affable and amusing. |

If only a nerd would make that mistake, then only a geek would notice it and point it out publicly. |

Do Your Friends Think You're a Nerd or a Geek?

My friends do not think of me as a NERD, at least I don't think they do. My wife on the other hand does think I am a NERD. I was an athelete (wannabe) in school, not very nerdy or geeky but not very athletic either. I was always a mid tier athlete. I could never hit a curve ball but I could get my bat on the fastest of fast balls. My glove was very suspect so they put me behind the plate. Catching during a midday summer practice is simply brutal. My son is catching today and loves it, although last night he got hit on the inside of his foot with a low fast ball and is starting to have second thoughts about catching. I started collecting around the age of 10. I stopped around 15 and started again around 24.

Same here Marty, I was a mid-tier athelete. As a spectator baseball was my favorite, but for participation I favored basketball and track. I spent a lot of time playing basketball but never became very good at it. |
