Subject: RE:
Ayah, 'seed, and if she doesn't know 'geek', is she going to know 'scuzzy'? I can't offhand remember what piece of computer jargon it is slang for - 'SC-something'. Suzanne, geek is like nerd, is like hacker (some will tell you that some of these words are more positive than others). And it describes someone who learned all their social skills from a computer. (which is the only place they need them anyway, since that's where they spend all their time anyway). (Unlike the rest of us, who just Mudcat..).
Blessings,
Barbara
