The other day I was wondering to myself, if the term "geek" still inferred a higher level of intelligence in someone. Not satisfied with just mulling it over in my head I went ahead and Googled and Wiki'ed the term. The consensus seems to be that while the term does relate to a higher level of intelligence, it does not have to be focused on academia. This wasn't really all that surprising to me since I have referred to myself as a Star Wars geek, coaster geek, theme park geek, and holiday geek just to name a few. To a certain degree the term "fan" (as in aficionado or supporter) seems to have been supplanted by the term geek. Scott Johnson, a web artist, came up with 56 geek stereotypes.
