Geeks have a specialized interest. Dorks just look and/or act funny.
Nerds are the intersection of geeks and dorks.
Nerds and geeks are really passionate about some scientific or acedemic subject.
A nerd has knowledge or skills, but not in any area where there is any useful outlet for those skills.
A geek is a nerd who has sufficient skills to be employable.
A dork can be either a nerd or a geek, but is lacking social skills.
If you get really excited when you find some brand new freeware program for your laptop, you're definitely either a geek or a nerd. If your computer skills have given you your job, you might be a geek. And if you don't have any friends to brag to about your new software, you are probably a dork.
Don't feel bad. You can always brag to us, Tico.
At LAST I know what a pocket protector is.
I always felt it must be something kind of naughty.
It is, if you use it right

Lessee, Dys wears jeans and spends a lot of time on the computer. All he needs is some glasses to complete the look. Here, Dys...try on one of these.
Dys,
Do you want me to hook you up with my tailor?
ugly frickin' hat but I like the tie
Wonder if Chai Tea is a secret carney.

Geeks get laid
I laid a geek once, but he was a renaissance geek.
I'm a multi-phasic geek; if it lights up, makes noise, or moves, I want one, and I wanna take it apart to see what makes it tick. Mosta the time, I can get put back together and ticking again.
I do have a helluva parts-and-projects room, though
You'd love my husband's spare parts room, timber.
He's famous for taking broken things apart, putting them back together so they work, and leaving out one or two pieces. I am always amazed he can get things working again, but perplexed about the leftovers. I mean, things are made so cheaply these days, it's hard for me to believe they put anything in there that isn't absolutely necessary. Invariably I ask him what was wrong with the thing and he says, "It had too many parts."
(pa dump bump)
Whenever anyone asks him why he keeps all these spare parts and pieces, he claims that one day he's going to have enough to get him to the moon. It could happen.

Even when it worked silently to begin with!
