dork   Audio pronunciation of "dork" ( P )  Pronunciation Key  (dфrk)
n.
  1. Slang. A stupid, inept, or foolish person: “the stupid antics of America's favorite teen-age cartoon dorks” (Joshua Mooney).
  2. Vulgar Slang. The penis.

Hm, let's see...

I am neither a foolish person, nor a penis... So 'no'.

I'm not sure, but I think I might be just a little dorky (the first definition, not the penis one). Where's the option "I find this question disturbing and refuse to answer it"? Anyway, I voted Yes.

You're a dork 'cause you quoted the dictionary:
1 : a reference source in print or electronic form containing words usually alphabetically arranged along with information about their forms, pronunciations, functions, etymologies, meanings, and syntactical and idiomatic uses
2 : a reference book listing alphabetically terms or names important to a particular subject or activity along with discussion of their meanings and applications
3 : a reference book giving for words of one language equivalents in another
4 : a computerized list (as of items of data or words) used for reference (as for information retrieval or word processing)

I think I'm actually more "nerdy" than "dorky," though neither word really fits.  Maybe "bookish?"
 
Peace.

Dork
598 up, 100 down

Someone who has odd interests, and is often silly at times. A dork is also someone who can be themselves and not care what anyone thinks.

You are such a dork.

I guess I'm closer to a "geek", which is a nerd that doesn't necessarily need to be bookish or technologically apt. But if you're mixing the two definitions together, I'll just choose "yes".

To recap:

a nerd entails a geek
a geek does not entail a nerd
a dork does not entail a geek or a nerd, but there is a high correlation between the three.

I never even knew that dork stood for a sort of nerd or geekShocked
 
I always though it meant that every male on the planet had one hanging between its legs and more or less used intelligently
 
 
Geeks and nerds by themselves
 
others with a partner

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

Dork? No. Most likely nerdy, eccentric and bookish.
