Well personally, I don’t have a problem with anyone calling me a geek or a geeky ____, I take it as a compliment really – and it is! Becoming enough of an expert in one’s field such that anyone feels compelled to call you a geek, is an honor, not an insult. Besides… haven’t you heard? Geek is cool and trendy now (shudder – "Hey kids! I was a geek LONG before Napoleon Dynamite and before the term “chic geek” – so get off my robomower… er… arduino… er… lawn!")
