What's the Chinese Word for Geek?


Blllllllllllllaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaadee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :shakefist
 
Maybe there isn't an exact equivalent in the language. More likely other synonyms would be used instead, like hobbyist, aficionado, or more specifically "one who is obsessed with [Insert subject/topic here]."
 
Sorry to jump in among all this mod banter.

I just asked my mom about it. She had to think for a while, haha...but there's a term, "dai zi," which literally refers to someone who stays still. But it's used to refer to bookworms and people of that effect...so even if there's no specific word for "nerd" or "geek," there's definitely terms that fit the context. It's just how languages work.
