@viator: At least you're not a dweeb. I think we can all agree on that. Besides, if I recall, the "official" definition of a geek was a person who bites the heads off of live chickens. Of course, I could be wrong.

"Evil will always triumph because good is dumb!"

Are you saying you DON'T bite the heads off of live chickens?

Mmmm... live chicken heads...

Does that mean that "Ozzie" is a geek?

This is the dictionary.com definition of Geek

-A person regarded as foolish, inept, or clumsy.
-A person who is single-minded or accomplished in scientific or technical pursuits but is felt to be socially inept.
-A carnival performer whose show consists of bizarre acts, such as biting the head off a live chicken.

Edit: Yuppie = A young city or suburban resident with a well-paid professional job and an affluent lifestyle.


*points towards Esquilax* Pass the live chicken heads, please.

All I can say is that before the onslaught of the technoids, geeks were plain ordinary circus side show freak attractions who specialized in biting the heads off of live chickens.

What's ordinary about biting heads off of live chickens?! That's freaky. I'd rather CUT their heads off, thank you very much. Besides, there are few things funnier than watching a chicken run around with it's head cut off.

i always thought that geek was someone who was good with computers.

Never known of a yuppy who was older than 30. Most were 22 to 25 in some stories in the local paper a few years ago. They seem to like cell phones more than computers too.
