Listen its not like African Americans reappropriating the word 'nigger' or gay people ditto 'queer' you know - I hate working with people who in order to appear like some sort of Peep Show Anthologist or something says 'oh well, that's the geek in me talking' or 'well we can talk geek together all afternoon' - its not a term of endearment you know and its certainly not a word to be reappropriated for some sort of coolness. Stop. Now.
