Etymology
The term 'geek' has its origins in the early 20th century, derived from the circus culture where it referred to a performer who engaged in bizarre or grotesque acts, often including the consumption of live animals. Over time, particularly in the latter part of the 20th century, the meaning shifted significantly. By the 1980s, 'geek' had transformed into a term used to describe individuals who were highly knowledgeable or enthusiastic about specific subjects, especially in the realms of technology and entertainment. 'Geeky' started to emerge as an adjective, capturing the essence of this enthusiasm. The comparative form 'geekier' came into use as people began to compare levels of passion and knowledge within subcultures, celebrating rather than stigmatizing these interests. This shift reflects broader societal changes in attitudes toward intelligence and expertise, emphasizing that being 'geeky' is not only acceptable but often admired.
