EN: geek
In the PH context, a **geek** is someone who's super passionate about something 'nerdy'—anime, K-Pop, gaming, coding, Star Wars, you name it. It's no longer an insult; it's a badge of honor. A **geek** is the person you run to when your laptop crashes, who can explain the entire Marvel timeline, or who has a spreadsheet for their K-Pop photocard collection. We love our geeks!
From English 'geek'.
Used in the same way as in English, but often with a positive or affectionate connotation in modern Filipino slang.
