  My friends used these technicalities. A geek is anyone who takes an excessive interest or love in any aspect of learning (math, english, science, nose rings, plant species, coping after being held hostage... It could be anything!) A nerd is someone who is a social outcast for acting like a geek, but is not truly interested in learning.
