While I was calling the performer who showed the art of eating chickens and snakes living in the circus at the Austrian Hungarian empire of the 18th century using "geck" in the 19th century Has become "Geek" over North America.

Meanwhile, the history of "Nerd" is not so deep, it is the first time that Dr. Seuss comes out in the book "If I Ran the Zoo" written in 1950. At this time, the characters in the works appeared as "Nerkle, Nerd, and Seersucker" as gathering in the imaginary zoo, so it was not specifically described what it is, and in 1951 the slang dictionary Was published as "synonym of" drip (square) or square "(square). However, from the 1960s to the 1970s, it became to be used like another spelling of the same pronunciation "Nurd". There are also hypotheses for this, which is said to have come from "nert" (stupid person) that was used in the 1940s. Anyway, in the 1970's "Happy Days"Situation comedy settled in the word" Nerd ".

Twenty-four percent think people are comfortable with being called gikes, while those who think that they are pleasantly called as nards is 24%. In addition, 87% are people who prefer the word geek rather than Nard, so if you compare it, the Naruto seems to have a bad image to be strong. By the way, only 17% think Americans are geeks themselves. 37% for bloggers, 50% for technical engineers, 65% for game designers, we recognize that people are geeks.


It is easy to understand if it is truly split as "Geek on Mac, Nerd on PC" like the above classification, but in fact it is not so, making it difficult to understand.
