Today, there is not just one definitive meaning of the word “geek”. In fact, the term has a more positive connotation to it compared to before. The Urban Dictionary actually defines “geek” as one who has an intense level of interest in something (usually a fandom or something else really cool). I, myself, am a proud geek. Now when it comes to geek culture, there are just some things many geeks have in common, and one of those is knowing several geeky quotes.
Geeky quotes often play with words. Quotes that contain some hidden meaning and hidden taunting are also considered as geek quotes. However, Geek quotes are not always heavily intellectual. In fact, they are quite easy to understand and are quite humorous as well. If you’re a proud geek as well, here are some geeky quotes you may know by heart or will just surely like.
