Ranks these four discriptive words from best to worst. In other words which would you like most to be called? form most to least. Laura and I have an argument to settle about this. I know we have probably asked you a similar question in the past but dweeb is a new addition.
If you would like you can give us some commentary on why you choose what you did.

Here it goes. From best to worst.
1.Nerd
2.Geek
3.Dork
4.Dweeb
But don't even think about using one of those to describe me.
Drew is almost correct.
1. Nerd
2. Dork
3. Geek
4. Dweeb
And none of these apply to me.
1) Nerds are smart.
2) Geeks are too, they're just less socially sophisticated.
3) Dorks are obsessed with elves and swords and use them to feel better about their lives vicariously.
4) Dweebs just suck because they don't have lives.
Wow. There seems to be consensus.
What a profound thought. I can't imagine the context in which you and Laura would be discussing such terms. Interesting!!
Anyway, my crack at it is:
1: Geek: This is just someone very smart who is very good at certain things. (i.e computer geek, accounting geek, engineering geek etc. Very focused on what he does and he does it well to the exclusion of other stuff.
2. Nerd: Kinda like a geek except he is socially awkward, dresses badly, speaks badly and generally acts like a.... well a nerd. (i.e. Dumb and Dumber)
3. Dork: Mostly someone who dresses and acts in a way that one thinks he is a dork. This kind of person just says dumb things at the worst time and acts in bizarre ways. (i.e. Napolean Dynamite and Drew)
4. Dweeb: This is someone that is small in stature and is annoying in so many ways. (the way he eats, talks, treats others, basically someone who doesn't have a clue about the perception others have of him as a little twerp. In fact twerp is a cousin of a dweeb. He also wears white socks with dress shoes and those very small socks that are half of a man's sock when he plays basketball)(i.e. You know who you are!!)
There you have it. The official ranking and proof to back it up.
Dad
1. Nerd
2. Geek
3. Dweeb
4. Dork
I should know because I have been called all 4...:-(
This is like asking which form of taxes do you like the best: federal, property or sales?
They all stink.
Geek, nerd, dork, dweeb . . . in that order.
But let's let Webster weigh in:
(Pay particular attention to the 3rd definition of geek.)
nerd[nurd] –noun
1. a stupid, irritating, ineffectual, or unattractive person.
geek –noun
1. a peculiar or otherwise dislikable person, esp. one who is perceived to be overly intellectual.
2. a computer expert or enthusiast (a term of pride as self-reference, but often considered offensive when used by outsiders.)
3. a carnival performer who performs sensationally morbid or disgusting acts, as biting off the head of a live chicken.
dork/[dawrk]–noun
1. a stupid or ridiculous person; jerk; nerd.
dweeb/[dweeb]–noun
1. nerd; wimp.
