Jeff, *** OT ***
>The term "geek" can be complimentary or derogatory, depending on who is using it. I am a geek, so when I refer to my colleagues as geeks, I am using it as a term of respect. To a geek, there is no greater compliment than being called a geek by your peers. If a non-geek calls me a geek, however, it is generally viewed as disrespectful.<

Well, my dictionary is the abridged version.<g>
Makes perfect sense and there are parallels:
some minorities call each other names that
would get a non-minority stabbed.
