the meaning of geek has changed much over time, and there is no longer a single meaning. the words nerd, gimp, dweeb, dork, spod and gump have similar meanings as geek. but many people choose to say that these words mean slightly different things. however, the differences are not agreed on. in a 2007 interview on "the colbert report", richard clarke said the difference between nerds and geeks is "geeks get it done." julie smith described a geek as "a bright young man turned inward, poorly socialized, who felt so little kinship with his own planet that he routinely traveled to the ones invented by his favorite authors, who thought of that secret, dreamy place his computer took him to as cyberspace—somewhere exciting, a place more real than his own life, a land he could conquer, not a drab teenager's room in his parents' house."
