Geek, Nerd, Dork, Dweeb

Considering many comic fans get called these things what are they?

I think a Dork is just someone sillyy

Dweeb just a general term for lame

Geek-Super smart people

Nerd-People who like things most people don't

Though I would say Nerd/Geek are the same

Well dork can stand for something else...

I don't think a geek and a nerd are the same thing.

Nerds are geeks who aren't super-smart.

You have nerd and geek mixed up, OP.

The word geek actually means fool 
 
also do people stil say dweeb?

No one says Dweeb

Dork is for someone silly and foolish

Nerd is someone who likes Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Video Games, comic books

Geek is someone super smart

Though to most people they all mean the same thing.

I don't know why people need to be branded for who they are or what they're into.

is someone who's smart.

I just call it comfortable in your own skin and I'm prime example I don't look like your average comic reader because I'm in hip hop music and i do jiu jitsu.. However Im a spiderman fan until I do and I can go 2 comic-con and hang out just as easy I can go to the club with my girl

I don't see a difference between nerd and geek and that's gotten me into trouble with older geeks who get offended when I refer to us collectively as "nerds" because they don't realize that "nerds" are cool now, with their thick-rimmed glasses and ipads and indy rock style while wearing tight, womens' jeans.

I think a Dork is just someone sillyy Agreed.

Dweeb just a general term for lame Agreed.

Geek-Super smart people Agreed

Nerd-People who like things most people don't Not totally, in my opinion, I'd consider Nerd your definition plus geek.

Wait, I'm cool now? How come nobody told me? Well, minus the women's jeans thing.

Surprisingly, I pretty much agree with your definitions. The only one I'm not with you on is dork. I think of dork as someone who is socially awkward.

Those aren't nerds or geeks, they're hipsters, who like to dress "geek chic" To me the OP has geek and nerd mixed up. I see nerds as someone who's an outcast to the social norm, those who are really smart but ostracized because of it, Geeks on the other hand are common, they're people who are very passionate about the things they love, I think we're all a little bit of a geek.

I think it's the other way around, And what's hipsters?@Funrush said:

Nah think I had the nerd definition right.

I think I'm a little bit of all of these except for the dork part...though I have been "name called" all of this. If someone calls me a nerd/geek I just say "DAMN PROUD OF IT" and they usually leave me alone and walk away freaked out.
