Weekend Wordery: Nerdery
April 18, 2010
At last, from Great White Snark, a Venn diagram taxonomy of geekdom. Hat tip to Austin Frakt, who also earns his stripes by laying out the following preference hierarchy, in which I concur:
Since I prefer intelligence overall, think obsession has good, secondary value and find little to be recommended in social ineptitude but will accept it if required to support the first two, here’s the preference hierarchy, as I see it:
- Geek,
- Nerd,
- Dweeb,
- Dork.

An interesting Venn concept, though it saddens me to see the negative qualities of “nerd” and “dork” so closely grouped with awesome people like me. I think that this diagram is fine, for what it is, but you should recognize that it is partial, and that other overlapping ovals–like that for “awesome gay brilliant intellectuals”–is missing. Cool topic, anyway.
