I'm trying to tease out a curious change (since, oh, ten years ago) in the meaning of the word geek.

Geek is one of those words that seems to change definitions a lot. After all, an older definition would be the carnival geek - the dude who did disgusting sideshow acts.

Just realized I do also use it to denote expert. When I am gaming, a have my canon geeks I go to because I can't remember canon to save my life.
