No. The proper term is GEEK. Needs are uncoordinated, awkward, have no fashion sense, and occasionally tape their broken glasses (or say sheepishly, "did I do that?")

Geeks have in-depth, we'll researched knowledge on topics that are obscure to the "mundanes", have intellectual curiosity, and sometimes gain in wealth as a result. In many cases, they tend to make non-geeks (and geeks for other topics) completely befuddled. This sometimes results in insecurity on the part of non-geeks, which negatively impacts their social lives. On rare occasions, such geeks are so over the top smart that they transcend such petty attitudes (see: Neil deGrasse Tyson)

If you're programming in assembly, regardless of what it is, you are the biggest nerd of them all. And I have massive fucking respect for you.

How is your favourite language one that indexes arrays from 1??? You monster!

How dare you count things from one, like a human being.

I beg to disagree. It's a law of nature to assign index 0 to the 1^st^ th... Wait a moment

Sorry I'm using it at the moment doing research for a Roman trading game I'm writing in BASIC.

Well, if Romans will perchance feed you to the lions... we won't be sad.
