How often have we heard the words Nerd and Geek in films or in real life, whether it's to describe a person or even (try) to insult him by saying one of these words? How many times have we described ourselves as such, but do we really know what these two words mean? Most importantly, do we already know that these two phrases do not mean the same thing? Do we know the real differences between them?Do not worry, my friend. If you do not have a good idea of
the Geek characterization of the Nerd, let us know through this article so you can determine whether you are Nerd or Geek.The word "Nerd" was first mentioned by the famous children's story writer Dr. Suss in his book If I ran the Zoo, which was released in 1950, but the word did not have the same resemblance or synonym with what it currently means. The beginning of the 20th century as an insulting word that describes the acrobatics in the circus who make provocative or disturbing performances.Contrary to what we believe, the commonalities between the two are very few and limited, while the differences between them are multiple and very many Let us know ...
Similarities:
)
- Both the Geeks and the Nerds are characterized by their intense passion for a specific field.
- They both like reading but to varying degrees; because Nerds often prefer paper books, Geeks prefer e-books.
- They are interested in science, arts and technology.
- Both are smart and strange in their surroundings.
Differences between them:
!(
)
- Geeks and Nerds are obsessed with a specific field as we mentioned earlier, but the Geek may be associated with any field, such as science, sport or science, but Nerd is often associated with science and technology.
- Geek can be considered "impressed" by the area he loves, read, follow, publish and share the most important developments related to him, perhaps wearing clothes or putting wallpapers on his computer and telephone related to this area.
- For Nerd, we are talking about someone who is more in-depth in the field, so that he can be considered a Geek too, but he is more than the rest of the Jix in terms of his teaching and experience in this field instead of just reading about him, which means that he is well versed in mathematics, physics or space science , Or experienced in programming languages, instead of having access to a range of public information from here and there such as Geeks.
In a quirky study , the software engineer BarSites analyzed nearly two and a half Twitter tweets, searching for the most common words for both Geek and Nerd. The result was:
- Most relevant words PAL Geeks: music, technology, Google, Comics, Apple, Samsung, Cinema, Dell, electronic devices, LEGO, Google, assemblies (Ktbat books, stamps, games, etc ...), documentary films , manga, phone applications, Alonfujravek , Culture, shirt, shoes, highster, trend ...
- Keywords related to Nerds: history, lectures, universities, chemistry, autism, Sudoku, cultured, physics, gene, education, grammar, data, mathematics, world, terminology, oxford, neuroscience, chess ...
- Words related to both Geeks and Nerds: Eccentric, Computer, Microsoft, Gamer, Avengers, Glasses, Library, Books, Reading, Superheroz, Intelligent, The Hobbit ...
We therefore conclude that Geeks are primarily related to "things" that belong to what they love, and Nerds are related to the same domain and ideas.
- Geeks often love Star Wars movies or Star Treck.
- Jics usually mastered a musical instrument.
- The Nerds are often introverted, and do not easily fit into others.
- The Nerds exhibit a perfect and unrealistic view of the world because of their full immersion in their own world.
- The Geek may be stylishly dressed or dressed in youthful clothes that reflect his passion. The Nerd does not care too much about it, so it is always boring and weird for others.
- The Nerds have very few friends, do not talk too much and do not expect you to talk to them, and they are shy.
- The Geeks are socialists, but they usually meet and only agree with their peers, who share the same passion, and are less shy than the Nerds.
- The Nerds are usually in love with young women who share the same passion and are associated with it, but this is not very common in the world of Geeks.
- Nerds spend their free time reading or studying, while the Geeks spend their free time playing, watching movies or attending events that concern them.
