my daggy karl
Date: 2003-08-01 07:47 am (UTC)And because whenever I write him, a certain underlying dagginess will out. It's the Kiwi connection. I can't hilp ut.
Runner-up is, of course, the ever febulous Duck.

Date: 2003-08-01 08:41 am (UTC)Of course the Duck! Who else but Duck? He's the uber-geek, the geek's geek, the geek for all seasons. Just look at him. Not for him the swanning around in front of the camera, nor the greasepaint-scented slickness of showbiz, nor yet the testorone-fuelled bedhopping of the others (as fic has led me to believe, and who am I to doubt it?).
I think it depends if you think geeks are good or bad. I would have to say good, all things considered.

Date: 2003-08-01 09:11 am (UTC)Oh, good, good, good! What else would I say? I mean, I am installing Karl (??) as king of geek here, and you well know that I am slave to his flop.
*stares at your icon -- it never palls*
it's good to be a geek

Date: 2003-08-01 10:24 pm (UTC)Now, if you'd asked who's the biggest dork, that would've been harder, because they're all huge, honking dorks, and that's what I love about them. *g*
dork?
Date: 2003-08-02 07:40 am (UTC)What precisely is the difference between:
a) a geek
b) a dork
c) a dag
Thank you.
Re: dork?
Date: 2003-08-03 06:14 pm (UTC)Geek - 42
Nerd - anything prime
Dag - 23
Dork - huh?
To translate... well, actually, it occurs to me that this is only our definitions. YMMV. But here's what we thought:
A geek is someone who's fannish, obsessive, probably intelligent, likes comics and fantasy fiction and computer games and whizz-bang movies and can get really nitpicky and analytical about them, but tends to ignore the rest of the world.
A nerd is someone who's like that, but also very into computer coding, maths, physics - any sort of of hardcore science. Probably wears glasses, but we're not discriminatory on that.
A dag is someone obsessed with something else - just about anything else, but usually something intellectual-ish. We favour law/the arts, but once again, anything elevated to the point of intellectual obsession will so. (Also: dressing/talking/acting out of fashion, but still lovable.)
A dork is someone who does stupid things, loves it, is full of confidence about it and doesn't mind if they look like an idiot.
I should point out that all of these things are in the nature of endearments. I've never used them as insults.
But by the above, I'm sure you'll agree, Lij is the biggest geek, though the WETA boys are so close, but they're all dorks. *g*
Re: dork?
Date: 2003-08-04 06:48 am (UTC)And here I was thinking that a geek was just an American dag.
What's Ymmv?
