Dork

While trying to figure out our social labels, a guy at work decided that I was 'a dork.' This was pretty much unanimously agreed upon. Urban Dictionary claims that a dork is someone who has odd interests, and is often silly at times. Someone who can be themselves and not care what anyone thinks. An individual who is keenly interested in and good at mathematics, science, and technology, and applies mathematical and scientific principles to everyday occurrences, while at the same time being lovable and very personable, often having many friends due to wittiness, often loves video games. Ummm, not quite me. Mind you, other entries in Urban Dictionary claim that dorks tend to be more humorous and extroverted and don't mind laughing at themselves. Someone who does things that are kinda silly and not necessarily cool but always cute. The term dork tends to specifically refer to a person who often shares the characteristics of geeks or nerds but are not ostracized as a result. There is a current preference with the mainstream for dorks over geeks or nerds. Maybe?
