A geekerd is a geek who also contains aspects of the nerd culture. While a geek mainly uses computers for social interactions and are technically advanced compared to your average user. A nerd has no social skills and is obsessed with science and technology.

To make a geekerd, you must possess qualities of each stereotype, such as an obsession with science and technology, but also a gamer or some other part of the geek subcultures.

A geekerd is generally lower than your normal geek, but better than your average nerd. Nerds are the lowest of the computing stereotypes.

Geek/Nerd/Boffin

Geek:
A geek is someone who is unusually enthusiastic about a specific topic, sometimes an unusual topic, such as computing, science, maths or painting tiny models from Lord of the Rings.
Boffin:
A term used almost exclusively in the UK to affectionately refer to an expert or egghead. This term originated from the 'back room boys' in the second world war who were, amongst other things, operating radar and trying to break the german enigma code.
Nerd:
Someone who has difficulty negotiating social situations. The term has strong negative connotations and is mostly used as an insult. Nerd is often used interchangably with geek and it is true that many people are both but they mean different things.

geek admission 

Stating something in a conversation that reveals your geeky or embarrassing side.
The date was going fine until my geek admission that I loved playing WoW.
A person who is considered strange weird or is passionate about one thing or another. Not to be mixed with Nerd. Although they are normally smart they are not freaky smart and look like normal people. It is even possible to be a "Geek" without even knowing it.
Being able to name programs by their actual name is considered "geeky". Liking Anime is considered "geeky"

Geeks are cool though they have a life and often people don't realize that they are in fact talking to a geek. Liking anything to do with outer space tends to let one fall into this category such as Red Dwarf, Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy,Star Trek is the biggest one that "geeks" are linked with.
Even reading a large amount of books makes you a geek.
Geeks also tend to be good looking and the one who everyone wants as their friend as they quite often know the answer to a problem (even if it's just basic) or they know how to find it. "Geek" girls are normally seen in a better light than male "geek" are though there is no real reason for this.
I am a Geek because I know the Red Dwarf episodes by their actual name and I am "weird".
