What's the Chinese Word for Geek?

[OverdrivePrime]

Somebody and call up China and let them know... I am their word for GEEK! :169: >

What would the tonal inflection be, I wonder. :sweat:


I love linguistics - the words are completely dependent on cultural need. The concept of a geek is relatively new, and what it means in the West has evolved quite rapidly, from the original meaning of some jackass who bit the heads off of chickens in a circus side show.
Since there is no real parallel to the modern Geek in Chinese culture, it makes perfect sense that a word hasn't been created for it yet. "Keith" will do nicely, however. :thumbs:

Some countries don't have a word for "teenager" even.

But I guess it makes sense. I wasn't 'til like... 'til the mid to late 90's that we started turning geek into being a good thing.

Well, geek is pretty much a universal term for a lot of us anyways, man.:anime:

Geeks are so hot.

The other night, I was telling Faiz about the transformer toys I got him, and there were little slogans on each box, and I was reading them off to him, and just by the little slogan he was able to tell me which Transformer it was. It was so Geeky, and I love it!!

I too love a good geek. If I don't have to explain my ways to someone and they just understand what I'm talking about when I go off on a geek tangent thats awesome.

Neglecting boyfriend stopping you from scoring points with this gal you like? Don't be just positioning yourself in line, if you don't think he deserves her, make her see why you are a great alternative.

Worked for my roommate with a coworker of his.
