[Aunt Marg]

Nerd: “socially awkward”. “An intelligent but single-minded person obsessed with a nonsocial hobby or pursuit”

Geek: “a digital-technology expert or enthusiast”. “A person who has excessive enthusiasm for, and some expertise about a specialized subject or activity”

I had to cheat on this one and looked it up!
