A freak show performer that bites the heads off chickens: "The geek stood behind his cage, the crowd looking on in awe and disgust as the unfortunate fowl's blood dripped down his chin onto his chest. He smiled a red smile at them and made a horrible gutteral noise that sounded like "GHEE". The crowd ooed and aaed with approval."
It's also a general term for anyone (but usually a male) considered to be foolish, ugly, or otherwise undesirable: "Oh my god, look at that ridiculous outfit! That guy is such a geek!"
It may also be used as a term of endearment between friends: "LOL Gimme that, you geek!" or a term of self-effacement: "Aw jeez, I can't beleive I just did that- I'm such a geek!"
In recent years it has come to mean any person who is technically savvy, particularly with computers, or otherwise adept at a field usually obsessed over by the fringe of society. It tends to be coupled with other words as in "Techno-Geek", "Star-Trek Geek", "Computer Geek" and so on.
Recently the electronics and media mega-store "Best Buy" introduced their "Geek Squad", a team of individuals skilled at computer interface and repair, and for the first time Geek was actually given a positive connotation.

People label people who are able to solve or do things they could not geeks. On the average, geeks would be your current and future employers.

People look at geeks as being someone who wear plaid pants with poka-dot shirts. Coke bottle glasses. Who says things like right on or says refer instead of weed. And their Friday nights are spent playing chess with their mother. And if someone says the word "sex" around them they cringe and cover their ears. But all in all "geeks" are people too.

they're supposed to be like nerds... all about studying, school, and boring stuff but i think people decide to call someone a geek because of their looks, appearance, personality or popularity.
