What does GEEKY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
informal
Showing an intense, often narrow interest in technical, academic or niche subjects, in a way typical of a geek.
Geeky describes people, hobbies or humor closely tied to technology, science fiction, gaming or other specialist subjects pursued with great enthusiasm. Once used mainly as an insult, geeky has become largely affectionate or even a badge of pride in many circles, especially as interest in computers and technical skill gained wider respect. A geeky joke, for example, might only make sense to someone familiar with a particular field such as programming or mathematics. The word captures both the depth of the interest and the slightly awkward social reputation that once went with it.
