Geek (noun) Depending on how you use this word will depend on whether you’re being nice or not! If you refer to a person as a geek it’s referring to a person in a negative critical way because they like to study too much or spend too much time on the computer and not socialize. But if you call your friend a geek it could be in a fun more playful way.
Example 1)
“What do think of the new girl Amanda?”
“Not much, she seems like a geek. She spends all her time in the library!”
“Maybe because she feels lonely. She’s new!” (Mean and negative meaning).
Example 2)
“Let’s go Ted’s house party tonight! Everyone’s going to be there!”
“I wish I could, but I have to study for my finals!”
“Ah, man, you’re such a geek!”
“I know. But if I don’t pass Coach Jones is going to kick me off the team!”(Fun and more playful meaning).
