The common description of a nerd is someone who enjoys Star Trek and memorises the episodes (not Star Wars, that's relativly normal), someone who goes to comic book conventions dressed as a Stormtrooper, someone with serious acne problems and self hygiene problems, someone who lives with their mother, blah blah blah.

And by live with their mother, I mean at the age of over 21. Not you kiddywinks.

Even though i am not really a big fan myself (only seen Ep1 and 2 and think they are ok) I don't think it is geeky/nerdy to be a star wars fan, although i make sure i avoid talking about Star Wars in front of girls.

Star Trek does seem geeky, thats why i never watch it. Just from the opening credits i turn it off

Star Wars is very poor. Don't insult the geeks.

My definition of a nerd: someone who has the power to take over the world with their mind skills.

My definiton of a geek: Star Wars fan. So if I call you a geek it isn't really an insult.

Seriously though, a nerd is probably someone who doesn't bow to convention and gets on with what they want to do without worrying about what others think about them.

A geek is that + "A carnival performer whose show consists of bizarre acts, such as biting the head off a live chicken."
