It might sound strange to you, but I've been a geek since before the word "geek" was a thing. Well, that's not entirely true—the origin of the word can be traced back to 19th-century German, but it wasn't commonly used until the late 1970s. Even then, it was used more as a way of saying "freak" than the meaning we know today. Back in the 80s, when I would ramble on about science fiction and fantasy, or try to get people to join my Dungeons and Dragons campaign, people didn't call me a geek or even a nerd. They just called me weird.

Then the term "nerd" took off, and it stuck for a while until the show "Freaks and Geeks" gave everyone a new term to play with. Unlike "nerd," which was a total derogatory term, "geek" was used a bit more nicely. Geeks were more accepted than nerds, and I wear my geeky badge with honor.
