What do you mean by CHIC? I've never seen Star Wars, not sure what LOTR is, and I'm not familiar with D&D. However, I read Anandtech, can program in C++, familiar with Linux, and can build my own computer

So there

I thought Star Trek was kinda lame, Lord of the rings dosn't look THAT good, and dungions and dragons has homosexual tendencies.

blahh I don't fit any of those...

is that a good thing?

<< chic? >>

 

[tweakmm]

it might be a good guess to assume that people who don't know what 'chic' means probably arn;t it

 

[erikiksaz]

chic (shk)
adj. chic·er, chic·est
Conforming to the current fashion; stylish: chic clothes; a chic boutique.
Adopting or setting current fashions and styles; sophisticated: chic, well-dressed young executives.

I learned it in English last week!

I'm not sure what those are suppose to categorize...but I fall into all 3.

I wouldn't call myself "Geek Chic" though.


Besides there are all different kinds of Geek.

The geekiest guy I know (has no friends, doesn't go out on weekends, has all his assignments done the day after they are posted (with 2 weeks or so before the due date)), etc etc etc), would fall into 0 of your categories.

Yes his idea of a good time is making his linux firewall box more effecient....or doing his ComputerScience 326 homework (Algorithims and Data Structures II)...

Me on the other hand, I have lots of friends, I go out often and socialize, and yet I still manage to pull down an A- average (as opposed to his A or A+).

Yet I fit into all your categories, and while I am reasonably high on the geek scale, no one I know would put me above this guy....and he fits into none.

Though I admit you criteria would catch some pretty hardcore Nerds/Geeks, it misses some to.

I agree Noriaki. Many "geeks" do not watch TV or even use computers. I know many such geeks that use their free time for studying and practicing for SATs. Honestly, I think the ATOT "geeks" are a lot like normal people, it's just that they happen to hang out at the same forum and like Quizzno's Subs

um, NO, NO, and NOOOOOOOO!

geek chic? Think of the guys in Weezer, moron. That's geek chic. D&D? Those people are nerds, not geeks.

edit: you have to be doing it on purpose to be chic. if you're just a nerd, you're not chic.

If you are including computer geek chicks, I met one in best buy, while waiting in line to check out during the after thanksgiving day sales. She even new the difference between cash and cache.
And before anybody starts hollering I DO NOT have pics, so forget it now!!!

Oh, wait I don't think I am talking about the same chic as you all are.

<< Oh, wait I don't think I am talking about the same chic as you all are. >>



correct

 

[killface]

If you mean geek chique, then that's an oxymoron, kinda like heroin chique.
