Geeks vs Dorks

So todays fortune is I love geeking out with you...this gave me a good laugh.  I often do call myself a pop culture nerd which neither of the gifters are although I guess one persons geek is another persons passion or cool.  This reminded me of a particular performance that P!nk did the other night when I saw her in concert, which was beyond amazing.  She did the following song telling people to do their worst dancing and she had a dork meter in the background.  This isn't the best quality video but it shows the dork meter  So if P!nk can be a dork, I'll be dork any day.

I was going to stop here but then I thought, hmmm let's consult the dictionary.  So yes and based on the anagram blog, I'm a word geek for sure.  But here is what the internet dictionary says.

geek

Noun

1.  An unfashionable or socially inept person.

2.  A person with an eccentric devotion to a particular interest.

I'll accept number 2 but not 1 (except I can be occasionally shy).  And based on this I'm a spinning geek too.  I may even be a green juice/smoothie geek...  I'm not so ashamed of these... and to prove that mostly I am the word geek...my mind couldn't let it go with that

I assumed that Geeks and dorks are similar.  According to Ask Yahoo which takes the comparison to include nerds.  We have,

Nerds are often aware of their status, but they don't mind. In fact, many take pride in the putdown, as it means they're smart and not wrapped up in superficial worries.
Geek is a more specific term. Back in the day, geeks worked at carnivals, and (according to the dictionary) "bit the heads off live chickens." Thankfully, the term now has a different connotation. Like nerds, geeks are smart, but they tend to focus more on technology. As Urban Dictionary explains, these are the people you make fun of in high school and later work for as an adult.
Being called a "dork" is the biggest insult of the three. There's no way you can spin it into something positive. After all, even the dictionary writes that dorks are "stupid" people. And to make matters worse, dorks assume they're cool." 

I don't think P!nk knew about the smelling comment but I'll be a proud geek.
