What's the difference b/w a nerd, a geek and a dork?

Question

And yes, there are differences and I'm aware of them.

One can be just one of them, a mix of them or all three!

I'm mainly a nerd and have a tad of geekiness in me and am under 1% dork I'd say. (But when I was a child, my dorkiness percentage was around 15%+.)

Only Defender got it right.

Simplified: A nerd is someone who is intellectual - a "smarty-pantsies" - a "teacher's pet".

A geek is intellectual on technology.

A dork is awkward and has bad fashion sense and wear glasses (usually).

Answer 1

Nerd, as a stereotypical or archetypal designation, refers to somebody who passionately pursues intellectual or esoteric knowledge or pastimes rather than engaging in a social life, participating in organized sports, or other mainstream activities.
A geek is an individual who is fascinated by knowledge and imagination, usually electronic or virtual in nature. Geek may not always have the same meaning as the term nerd.
Dork is a term of abuse favored by American youngsters, designating the target as quirky, awkward, eccentric, socially inept or simply of lower status.

Answer 2

All I know is nerd is smarter than all of them and they wear thick glasses, have acne and suspenders. Dorks are people with weird personalities or like a kid brother that gets on your nerves or is annoying. Geek is close to being nerd.

Answer 3

Nerd is a smart and unpopular person. Geek and dork are the same. They are lame and unpopular. And some geeks/dorks are not smart.

Answer 4

nerds are candy , geeks fix computers an dorks chase cars.

Answer 5
