Can we please invent a word that defines individuals who are both a nerd and a geek?

I was reading the comments section of a post about a sixteen year old girl who went to watch Star Wars so much so she could create her Halloween costume - cosplay (you might have seen it). The post was generally about shutting down the idea that females can't be geeks.

At some point in the comments there was a small thread with two individuals talking about being labeled either a geek or a nerd. With the idea that maybe they were a "little more geek and less nerd."

Here's the thing:

Knowledge about any topic, be it math or fandom is always evolving. It can't stay constant regardless if a thing was fact and now isn't. Knowledge or "smarts" comes in a vast array of topics and neither is superior to the other. Ever.

You can be mathematics smart, science smart, literary smart, street smart, musically smart, artist smart, space smart, food smart, history smart, agriculture smart.

The list is wonderfully endless ♥

And the best part is that even if you aren't "smart" about a topic, you can learn to be. It's never too late to learn something new or evolve your understanding around a topic you are already versed in.

With that in mind, can we PLEASE invent a word that occupies the truth of being exactly who we all really are.

A nerd and a geek.
