The difference between A geek, a nerd and a dork

here's still much disagreement about the exact definitions but I'll try to clarify them for you...

A Geek: Originally used to describe circus performers, "Geeks" are intense fanatics of unconventional subject matter, who proudly memorize its minutiae and incorporate it into every aspect of their lives

A dork: Is simply someone with no clue about normal rules of social interaction

What's the difference? All dorks are geeks, but not all geeks are dorks :)

A nerd: An 80's term we'd all like to forget :)
