SciFi Geek Vs SciFi Junkie

Q) According to the SciFi Television Channel, I am a Geek? Is that true?

Geek

  1. A person regarded as foolish, inept, or clumsy.
  2. A person who is single-minded or accomplished in scientific or technical pursuits but is felt to be socially inept.

Junkie

  1. A narcotics addict, especially one using heroin.
  2. One who has an insatiable interest or devotion: a sports junkie.

A) Guess there’s no competition really. These dictionary definitions clearly state that the Geek is single-minded, but only in scientific or technical pursuits; whereas a Junkie is one who has an insatiable interest or devotion.

So it’s decisive: SF Junkies we are.
