While recently reading a photography blog, a distinction between the terms "nerd" and "geek" came up. It seems a "nerd" is a guy who knows all about it—and likes to talk about it and argue about it — and a "geek" is a guy who likes to do it, whatever "it" is.

I suppose the term "foodie" could also be applied.

Would you consider yourself a "Foodie Nerd", or a "Foodie Geek?"

... or perhaps neither...

For myself, I do more reading than sticking new things in the oven, although I do that too... but just not as often as I would like... diet considerations be darned!!!

...so I guess I'm more nerd than geek.

Oh definitely a geek. That's why I post pics, along with a couple others here. All the rest are just talkin' the talk

Assuming that quote is correct, I'd be a geek too. The minute someone gets too wordy and over the top impressed with their own knowledge, I get bored.

What if you're both? Are you a gerd or a neek? Because I think we all talk about it more than we do it.

Definitely a Geek...I cook way more than I talk...or at least I eat more than I talk.

lol, I eat more than I talk, too, PF.

Andy, I think this is the pic you're looking for, from Taxi Driver. He could have said it in Raging Bull too, though. I've only seen that movie once

I talk and eat at the same time.

You're probably right. I'm not a movie buff. But I see you got the point, however poorly made.
