As a nerd, let me point you to this Venn diagram...

I guess the rankings would be a little subjective, based on your opinion of the underlying qualities.

This makes sense: If you are a dork you lack intelligence, but are still socially inept and obsessive.

That's sorta creepy.

I agree with one of the comments:

It should just be:

Dork – Social ineptitude
Nerd – Intelligence
Geek – obsession

And I'm a nerd.

Quote:
According to Whatis.com, nerds are people of above-average intelligence who place little importance on their appearance. 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. Oh, and they smell, too.


Conclusion:
"So, to sum things up, if someone calls you a geek or a nerd, thank them. If someone calls you a dork, consider going back to school and investing in some new deodorant."

This was a source I encountered when I did some rather extensive research back in the day. If I had glasses, this is where I would adjust them on my face, and follow it up by picking my nose perhaps.

You are here

So it is written OWSers are Dorks.

Hey, I said if I had glasses. I do not. Don't worry!

I can use that hand sanitizer to start a small fire though, it's very cold and I would appreciate that.
