The word geek is a slang term originally used to describe eccentric or non-mainstream people; in current use, the word typically connotes an expert or enthusiast or a person obsessed with a hobby or intellectual pursuit, with a general pejorative meaning of a "peculiar person, especially one who is perceived to be overly intellectual, unfashionable, or socially awkward".
Although often considered as a pejorative, the term is also used self-referentially without malice or as a source of pride. Its meaning has evolved to refer to "someone who is interested in a subject (usually intellectual or complex) for its own sake".
This word comes from English dialect geek or geck (meaning a "fool" or "freak"; from Middle Low German Geck). "Geck" is a standard term in modern German and means "fool" or "fop". The root also survives in the Dutch and Afrikaans adjective gek ("crazy"), as well as some German dialects, and in the Alsatian word Gickeleshut ("jester's hat"; used during carnival). In 18th century Austria-Hungary, Gecken were freaks on display in some circuses. In 19th century North America, the term geek referred to a performer in a geek show in a circus, traveling carnival or travelling funfair sideshows (see also freak show). The 1976 edition of the American Heritage Dictionary included only the definition regarding geek shows. This variation of the term was used to comic effect in an episode of popular 1970s TV show Sanford & Son. Professional wrestling manager "Classy" Freddie Blassie recorded a song in the 1970s called "Pencil-Necked Geek".

Not too long ago “geek,” “nerd,” and “dork,” were some of the terms used to describe intellectually sophisticated individuals who got unusually excited over computers, comics, video games, sci-fi films, and technology in general. They were considered some of the most undesirable people to be associated with and were usually spotted via their trademark big glasses and preppy clothes. You never invited them to your parties, and they were the easy targets of school bullies. Additionally, the fact that they spent the vast majority of their time in front of their computer screens and barely socialized with real people made them even weirder in the eyes of “normal” people—even though most of us have adopted this habit nowadays. Then all of a sudden, being a geek became cool. We live in an age wh...

Attraction isn’t only about looks, as many people falsely think. It’s about a certain primal magnetism. Of course, we can be physically attracted to someone, but we are more often drawn to their confidence, passion, and personality. Being attractive is about more than just appearance. For example, it’s a fact that our brains are like very hungry toddlers—they are easily bored and demand to be fed with entertaining nuggets. Being “hot” simply isn’t enough. So, what would you say if we told you that being knowledgeable, intelligent, and interesting is just as attractive as being good-looking? You don’t believe us? Well, then let’s make a bet: here are 25 Pretty Geeky And Useless Facts That Are Still Cool To Know. Try to use these the next time you want to strike a conversation with someone y...
Don't ever wait to find what you've been looking for
Don't ever hide your light behind a closing door
Don't give up the fight to find a way to realize your dreams
Don't you know you can be anything that you want to be
CHORUS:
You can be a star shining out in the darkness
You can be a fire blazing into the cold
You can be a voice calling out in the silence
You can be a voice calling out in the silence
You can be as bright as the morning sun
You can be the blue sky after the gray
You can drive the clouds of fear away
You can bring the healing to a world that's come undone
Don't you know you can be the one
You know that you can be the one
Don't ever miss the chance to find what the future
'Cause I can see a passion burning in your eyes
I know there's a God who's up in heaven looking down
And we all play a part in a master plan of grand design, yeah
