Originally, āgeekā was a term that mainly appeared in relation to travelling shows ā relating to a performer or act that dabbled in weird things. The 1975 edition of the American Heritage Dictionary gave āGeekā had just one definition apparently:Ā
āA carnival performer whose act usually consists of biting the head off a live chicken or snakeā.
Had to think about this one. Realized I needed to think about the definition of geek in 1967. The comments here were very helpful. This is one that shows its age.
