The term “geek” has come a long way in recent years, from a cutting insult (particularly favored by cheerleaders and others on the extroverted side of the fence) to a label worn with pride.

Heck, attractive women are apparently now even making the term their own — imagine that! What makes a geek a geek, anyway?
