CNN takes a look at the geek vs. nerd debate:
Musical satirist and pop culture icon ‘Weird’ Al Yankovic said he thinks of himself as a nerd in general, but is a geek about a few things.
“To me, a nerd is somebody that would be intelligent perhaps to the point of being a bit socially awkward and a geek is somebody that is not necessarily intelligent, usually they are, but they are usually savant-like experts in a particular subject. I know the standard definition of a geek is a person that bites the heads off birds, but I don’t think that’s been in use for quite some time. But there are certainly nerds that are geeks and geeks that are nerds. There are also pure geeks and pure nerds,” Yankovic said.
