Recently, my wife held a "Dork Contest" on her blog where I was one of the unwiling contestants. While my comment about Optimus Prime, the greatest Transformer of all time, does not rise to the level of belonging to the Celine Dion Fan Club, I must draw the line at the term "Dork" as used by my dear wife. What I said was probably "geeky" but certainly did not rise to the level of dorkdom.
A "dork" is someone who lacks social skills.
A "geek" is someone who is really into stuff like computers, comics, video games (usually to the point of obsession), but not necessarily a "nerd".
A "nerd" is someone who obsesses with being smart and will let you know how smart they are but may not be a "geek".
A "fernard" is someone who repeatedly performs acts of stupidity.
A "fathead" is someone with, well, a fat head.
My wife, for instance, obsesses over Elvis. She loves anything Elvis and knows all his songs, including all the bad ones. This would put her in the category of "Elvis Geek". Elvis, as pictured above, would be in the category of "fathead".

problem is, the stuff i'm into is actually really cool, thereby qualifying me as a maven. I totally started the leather motor jackets for women trend and singlehandedly brought back Doc Martins ( as featured in us weekly)
Maybe you should have your fights offline? Just an idea.
If it makes you feel better, I can sing the entire theme song to Transformers (and yes Optimus Prime is the coolest) and I'm a girl (a dorky one at that) and my husband can't. Speaking of which, I was extremely disappointed that the theme song wasn't used in the movie, would have made the movie about 1000% better.
WHAT THAT MOVIE NEEDED WAS A CELINE DION SONG.
(Pat's calling himself a Dion Maven now. I love my husband.)
