Do you have a different perception or idea of a geek and a nerd? What do they look like in your head?

Would you say you're one?

Honestly, at times I use either to describe myself and I mean it in a positive way. But apparently some dictionary defines a nerd as unstylish and socially inept. Now, I think that's overkill. I'm neither and I know it.

But I say nerd in the sense that I am knowledgeable on some stuff and I like studying some stuff, and I say geek in the sense that I become very enthusiastic when certain topics are discussed.

Nerds tend to be academic, geeks are more fandom or culturally oriented.

At least that is how I've deciphered it. I'm kinda both.
