computer geek

computer geek n.  1. One who eats (computer) bugs for a
   living.  One who fulfills all the dreariest negative stereotypes
   about hackers: an asocial, malodorous, pasty-faced monomaniac with
   all the personality of a cheese grater.  Cannot be used by
   outsiders without implied insult to all hackers; compare
   black-on-black usage of `nigger'.  A computer geek may be either
   a fundamentally clueless individual or a proto-hacker in {larval
   stage}.  Also called `turbo nerd', `turbo geek'.  See also
   {propeller head}, {clustergeeking}, {geek out},
   {wannabee}, {terminal junkie}, {spod}, {weenie}.
   2. Some self-described computer geeks use this term in a positive
   sense and protest sense 1 (this seems to be a post-1990
   development).
