A geek is one that is willing and able to apply one’s intellect in order to solve particularly difficult problems in math, the sciences and the languages. A geek works with aplomb. A geek may even work to the exclusion of certain social functions. Not incapable of socializing, the geek simply chooses to concentrate upon the task at hand. Perhaps the geek’s skills in the social nuances may be modest, but the geek is trustworthy, has a moral compass, understands the difference between good and evil, and carefully applies knowledge in an honorable, worthy way.
