The word geek is a slang term, noting individuals as "One who is perceived to be overly obsessed with one or more things including those of intellectuality, electronics, etc." Formerly, the term referred to a carnival performer often billed as a wild man whose act usually includes biting the head off a live chicken, bat, snake or bugs. The 1976 edition of the American Heritage Dictionary included only the definition regarding geek shows. This word comes from English dialect geek, geck: fool, freak; from Low German geck, from Middle Low German. The root geck still survives in Dutch and Afrikaans gek: crazy, as well as some German dialects, and in the Alsatian word Gickeleshut: geek's hat, used in carnivals. Although often considered as a pejorative, the term is also often used self-referentially without malice- an example is the 'Geek Squad' of the Best Buy company. From Wikipedia under the

What's your opinion of science geeks and if you feel they tend to be a little on the unusual side or strange, why do you suppose that is? Asked by Madison - Wed Jan 20 21:54:08 2010 - - 22 Answers - 3 Comments A. I'm an engineer. Engineers usually like math and science (I do), so I think we can relate to your average "science geek". We enjoy learning how things work. To us, science is a means to that end, and so it becomes a hobby. It's not the "science" part that makes "geeks" seem different, it's the never-ending pursuit of knowledge. The urge to share this hobby can also make "geeks" a little off-putting - most people aren't all that interested. We're also very logic-oriented people, and that's why we usually enjoy arguing as well. Geek arguments may seem pretty pointless to non-geeks (you think science geeks are annoying - try debating a political geek)! We tend to be introverts, but then again, we don't have popularity at the top of our… [cont.] Answered by Jason Marini - Wed Jan 20 22:16:20 2010 COMPUTER GEEKS: I mean helpful people that know a lot about computers.

Q. There is no box to upload an attachment. I tried to print the image, scan it and upload the pic to photobucket but since it is not reconized as a picture file I cant. So how should I do it? Asked by RealEstate - Wed Jul 15 13:24:43 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. You could either post just a link to it or save it as an image and attach it. If you have Adobe Acrobat you can export it as a JPG image. I'm not sure if Adobe Reader can do this. If it can't you can always save a screenshot by hitting the Print Screen key on your keyboard while the document is open (which copies your screen to your clipboard) and pasting that into Paint. Then you can save it out from there as an image. Answered by GluedHands - Wed Jul 15 13:44:43 2009 From Yahoo Answer Search: "geeks" |
