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".

When the struggle is real but the characters are fictional... I had originally planned to name this "geek girl problems" until I realized while editing that only 2 of these 10 issues are exclusive to lady type geeks. Hence me saying the word "geek girl" a lot. The fact is, the struggle is real no matter what's between your legs: The muggles just dont understand. Speaking of which, I made a shirt that said that once upon a time that YOU, good citizens of the internet, can BUY: http://rdbl.co/1X4xcCS I also just realized I TOTALLY missed the opportunity to wear that shirt in the video D: Anyway, I'm really trying to find a way to get these videos done fast enough so I can actually make a weekly upload schedule, but believe it or not, these darn stick figures take quite a while to draw a...
