From Jargon File (4.3.1, 29 Jun 2001) [jargon]:
geek n. A person who has chosen concentration rather than conformity;
one who pursues skill (especially technical skill) and imagination, not
mainstream social acceptance. Geeks usually have a strong case of
{neophilia}. Most geeks are adept with computers and treat {hacker} as a
term of respect, but not all are hackers themselves - and some who _are_
in fact hackers normally call themselves geeks anyway, because they
(quite properly) regard `hacker' as a label that should be bestowed by
others rather than self-assumed.
One description (http://www.darkwater.com/omni/geek.html) accurately
if a little breathlessly enumerates "gamers, ravers, science fiction
fans, punks, perverts, programmers, nerds, subgenii, and trekkies. These
are people who did not go to their high school proms, and many would be
offended by the suggestion that they should have even wanted to."
Originally, a `geek' was a carnival performer who bit the heads off
chickens. Before about 1990 usage of this term was rather negative.
Earlier versions of this lexicon defined a `computer geek' as one who
eats (computer) bugs for a living - an asocial, malodorous, pasty-faced
monomaniac with all the personality of a cheese grater. This is often
still the way geeks are regarded by non-geeks, but as the mainstream
culture becomes more dependent on technology and technical skill
mainstream attitudes have tended to shift towards grudging respect.
Correspondingly, there are now `geek pride' festivals (the implied
reference to `gay pride' is not accidental).
See also {propeller head}, {clustergeeking}, {geek out}, {wannabee},
{terminal junkie}, {spod}, {weenie}, {geek code}.
From WordNet (r) 1.7 [wn]:
geek
n : a person with an unusual or odd personality [syn: {eccentric},
{eccentric person}, {oddball}]
