GrumbleDook Posted July 14, 2006 Posted July 14, 2006 Geek (n) - A nerd with social skills. Originally discussed in conversation in a pub many years ago (That also happened to server a fruit drink called a 'Looza')... then used as a sig by some of the discussers, including a few who were on OU courses. This has since been picked up by various people and more recently seen here as lindylou's sig. And once this description makes it into the OED I can say I have been part of living etymology :-D
