The indirect exposure of people (geeky or otherwise) to areas of geek culture that they have not come across themselves, i.e. through contact with geeks. While the cultural memes transmitted are sometimes distorted, they are still recognisable.
Geekmosis results in scenarios such as:
A liberal arts student, who has never played Starcraft but does associate with gamers, exclaiming "Kekekekeke!"
Someone who has not seen any movies from the Highlander series making jokes about how "there can be only one".
