    Are you still planning on giving us your New Years’ Resolution in an upcoming video :?:

  • Major Chaos

    I always defined geek as “all brains, no brawn”. So the opposite would be “all brawn, no brains” which would refer to a jock.

    However I am a proud geek but I am working out and bulking up so I guess I could be a “jeek” or maybe a “gock”.

    Your attentive student,

    Whoa! Scared me a bit. Don’t hide your eyes. “Please”

  • theoddgeteven

    I can agree with this definition M Chaos.

    Marina verrry well done,nice outfit and some excellent effects picked up on the shades but alas I also agree with Billy B when he said “don’t hide your eyes”. They are gems let them shine,shine, shine.

    I am surprised you omitted this common definition of a geek: a carnival performer, often billed as a wild man, whose act usually includes biting the head off a live chicken or snake

    opposite of geek is a keeg

    The word keeg /kig/ is an English word, but is used in most languages in it’s original form.
    Basically, keeg is the opposite of geek.

    keeg can be used for more than meaning “not geek”. It can in fact be used for almost everything. That’s because people can agree with each other what the word geek actually means. Some asserts it means a person with no friends but his PC. Other claims the geeks are our society’s most-wanted for modern jobs, and therefore fabulous people.

    thank you for a nice video and did I do my homework well ?

    “keeg” is the opposite of “geek” meaning ‘not geek’. Yet, these two words are slang by our usage of them today. It could be in similar fashion to say things such as ordinary, average, or normal, unless the derivative is slang.

  • daniextrasahne

    This glasses make you look really “geeky”. Cool idea! :shock:

  • aafrophone

    i actually play this instrument which is called a bassoon in english. but in most other languages it is “fagott” or some other form of that word. If you saw the instrument, you might understand why.

    I also requested an explanation for the origin of the word geek, and you didn’t mention me!! :evil:

  • tanis600

    Particularly given your definition of “geek” as someone highly intelligent but socially awkward, I submit “socialite” as the opposite–someone who is socially apt but, as evidenced by the likes of Paris Hilton, Britney Spears, and Lindsey Lohan, intellectually a dullard.

    Then again, maybe the opposite of a modern geek is the 19th century “geek”–a fool or simpleton.

    Woe betides a fool to see a beautiful ‘Geek’ as you :!:

    Marina,

    having watched your video about “geeks” on Miro/Democracy Player, although I don’t know what is the opposite word for “geek”, I just want to tell you some words . I’m considered by my work colleagues and by my friends as a “geek”. A few months ago, this word was meaningless to me. But, now, I know, in my body, in my heart, what a geek is, thinks, does, hopes, and so on. What’s hard to live, is that you’re very often seen as “crazy” (which , in other people minds, means “this person in face of me is too strange, I can’t understand him, it scares me”. Having a good sense of humour might not be enough to change their point of view and become more friendly of open-minded). What’s your experience ?
    Geeky hugs and kisses, Marina, our sexiest geek of 2007 and more.
    Cheers
    Erik.

    With ‘geek’ meaning intellegent, it makes sense because ‘Band Geeks’ consist of the most intellegent kids in school. But would that also make them ‘Band Fools’ ? i don’t really think so. You also mentioned that geeks did not have the best social skills. hmm… well if you have ‘ Band Geeks’ then that just pretty much takes the ‘no-social’ness out of that.
    oh well just thought i’d throw that out there,

    great job <E

    The antonym for “geek” is “jock”.

    A synonym for “geek” is “tech-weenie”.

    Thanks for making learning fun & sexy – Where were you when I was growing up?

  • hott4urblog

    Marina – You have beautiful eyes and I can see the stars in your eyes even when wearing shades. lol The opposite of Geek was Imp to first cross my mind which could qualify as a dumb jock.

    Wow, I always thought geeks worked in carnivals and bit the heads off chickens.

    Soooooo sexy! I do not know the Antonym for “geek”, and since iStinky about homework anyways – I refuse to answer this question on the basis of being buzzed (and – out of alcohol – :()

    And the geek shall inherit the earth!
    hehehehe

    You know, I think I wouldn’t mind if marina eventually got into a relationship and got married and whatnot. That just means that her plasma charged brain power, her testosterone inducing looks and her smoking hot body will be passed on to another generation…the world really needs a lot more attractive nerds to spread intelligence and sexual frustration wherever they go. Anybody else agrees?

    RANDOM: the light gets reflected on those big-ass shades. makes her look like an alien. Awesome O_O

    Dear Micah,
    In your profile, you mention that you study history. I am interested in what kind of history you enjoy studying? Social history? Political history? History of science? Intellectual history? Pacific Ocean history? Asian history? European history? Early civilization history?
    Yours,

    Larry,

    Most of my historical knowledge before entering college is centered on military history. I am to focus this into the specific study of my country’s historical battles. I want to study everything from pre-colonial tribesmen here in the Philippines to the bloody revolution and then the even bloodier Philippine-American war.

    Why do you ask?

    Micah :D

  • http://www.hotforwords.com/members/bertrandr1872/ bertrandr1872

    Dear Micah,
    I hope you are well. I find all kinds of history of interest. My primary interest is in the history of psychology. But that does generalize to some extent to history of science. I also have an interest in the early history of civilizations and the beginnings of cultural evolution. I hope you enjoy your studies.

    Just watched your video about the word “geek”. In the video the word is linked to a german/dutch word which was “gec”. Actually in dutch the word is spelled “gek” which is even closer to the word geek. I never made the connection between geek and gek but it does make sense!!
    Hope this is a small contribution on my part. By the way I really love the way you make this work!!
