I hear terms, common in the #US, used in #movies and on #TV all the time these days.

I have a good basic idea what the words mean.

A #Jock is a sporty type with lots of friends
A #Nerd / #Geek is an intellectual type, but what's the difference between the two?
#Dork / #Dweeb are the stupid ones, but again what's the difference between the two?

I've always been intrigued too by the word #Dude. How the hell do you define such a person?

Sorry if I'm just plain stupid (dumb in the US).

I do have the impression that #dork and #dweeb were about as common as #geek and #nerd when I was a kid. But #geek and #nerd have taken off since then #GoogleBooks #NGramViewer

For those out there who are unsure about the difference between a #nerd #geek #dweeb and #dork, here’s a reminder:

For the record, I’m a geek. I love talking about my passions, but it’s ok to tell me to #shutUp. Outside of my geeky interests, I’m actually an #introvert.
