82: Geek Feb 28, 2015

The word 'geek' is defined in the Merriam-Webster's Advanced Learner's English Dictionary, copyright 2008 as "a person who is socially awkward and unpopular: a usually intelligent person who does not fit in with other people", and the Oxford English Dictionary online defines the word as, "an overly diligent, unsociable student; any unsociable person obsessively devoted to a particular pursuit". Due to the popularization caused by the reclaiming of the word relatively recently, it is a word now said with pride, and will no doubt have a varied definition in coming years.
