If I am a Geek?
The word geek is a slang term, noting individuals as "a peculiar or otherwise odd person, especially one who is perceived to be overly obsessed with one or more things including those of intellectuality, electronics, etc."Formerly, the term referred to a carnival performer often billed as a wild man whose act usually includes biting the head off a live chicken, bat, snake or bugs. Said in Wikipedia...
Mmmpphh... So...
Knowledge is power and geek is chic. If you're a cyber whiz who is plugged into the pop-culture world of sci-fi, fantasy, comic books and cult horror, maybe even the master of a Web shrine devoted to such once-arcane matters, you don't just rule. You rock. Said in USA Today...
Yeah... Well, I think I know what you mean...
The look of geek chic is the easy part. You take key pieces of a typically geeky wardrobe and wear them with purpose and aplomb, to make a point. Not because you're clueless and out of the fashion loop, not because you can't afford Ralph Lauren -- because you want to. Think thick black glasses, pinstriped suits with skinny ties, sweater vests, pocket protectors -- a hipster vibe with a nerdy edge. T-shirts like this one from thinkgeek with slogans like "There's no place like 127.0.0.1" (the IP address of your home machine) make the cut. It's about reclaiming the geek identity as something not only meaningful, but also stylish. Said in How Stuff Works.
Well well well, if my glasses look like those of PRISM London, then, yes, I'm a geek chic! Absolutely yes!
