computer geek
     
         or "turbo nerd", "turbo geek" one who eats
        computer bugs for a living.  one who fulfils all the
        dreariest negative stereotypes about hackers: an asocial,
        malodourous, pasty-faced monomaniac with all the personality
        of a cheese grater.  the term 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.
     
        see also alpha geek, propeller head, clustergeeking,
        geek out, wannabee, terminal junkie, spod, weenie.
