A Geek by Any Other Name Would Smell As Sweet

A few weeks ago, Mark rendered (on a napkin) a very valuable and informative Venn diagram showing the relationship between geeks, nerds, dweebs, and dorks. The napkin has since been lost, but a Google search located a similar diagram on several sites. Son of a gun, now it's on one more:

This would seem to clear up a lot of confusion, were it not for the recent publication of a different diagram by the fine folks at xkcd.com:

Here we have a conflict. The first picture shows "geeks" and "nerds" as disjoint sets, but the second shows that they overlap. Moveover, the alt-text for the xkcd diagram

The definitions I grew up with were that a geek is someone unusually into something (so you could have computer geeks, baseball geeks, theater geeks, etc) and nerds are (often awkward) science, math, or computer geeks. But definitions vary.

conflicts with the diagram itself by stating that all nerds are geeks.

As usual, nothing's easy. Perhaps the best policy for the pizza geeks is to simply forget the words, strive to exhibit geekiness whenever possible, and let everyone else figure it out from there.
