geek vs. l33t vs. nerd

[amezri]

There are days that I miss mIRC...

Selected bits from the l33t discussion...

[10:14am] you don't have a proper l33t-gene
[10:14am] < qeyboard> riiight
[10:14am] < disobay> with the proper l33t gene, you'd get the jokes..
[10:14am] < disobay> well, actually
[10:14am] < disobay> some of them i don't get..
[10:14am] < disobay> the ones about final fantasy specially
[10:15] < amezri> it's not a l33t gene. It's a geek gene.
[10:15am] since i haven't played it since Final Fanstasy 5 (3 us)
...snip...
[10:15am] < disobay> l33t is l33t-talk for geek :)
[10:15] < amezri> hm. I've always seperated the two.
...snip...
[10:16] < amezri> l33ts are geeks, but geeks are not l33t
[10:16] < amezri> *shrug*
[10:17am] < disobay> that's illogical..
[10:17am] < disobay> spock would disagree *lol*
[10:17] < amezri> lol
[10:17] < amezri> no, it is very logical.
[10:17am] < disobay> so .. what's the deal with geeks contra nerds?
[10:18am] < disobay> l33ts are nerds, some l33ts are geeks, but not all nerds are l33t..
...snip...
[10:19] < amezri> disobay: I haven't worked that one out completely. But.. I think geeks are fandom phreaks and nerds are book freaks.

Yeah... I'm procrastinating... Don't really want to pack...
