Who and what are we.


computer geek

n. 1. One who eats (computer) bugs for a living.
One who fulfills all the dreariest negative stereotypes about
hackers: an asocial, malodorous, pasty-faced monomaniac with all the
personality of a cheese grater. Cannot be used by outsiders without
implied insult to all hackers; compare black-on-black vs.
white-on-black usage of `nigger'. A computer geek may be either a
fundamentally clueless individual or a proto-hacker in larval
stage
. Also called `turbo nerd', `turbo geek'. See also
propeller head, clustergeeking, geek out, wannabee,
terminal junkie, spod, weenie. 2. Some self-described
computer geeks use this term in a positive sense and protest sense 1
(this seems to have been a post-1990 development). For one such
argument, see `http://www.darkwater.com/omni/geek.html'. See also
geek code.
