They tend to be 'snarky' and 'frumpy' and 'dorky'. I wish I could explain myself better on this one... Nerds are cool. A 'coffee nerd' or a '(insert topic here) nerd' has far more range in terms of being compatible with other humans and 'endearing'. "I'm a tech / business nerd" speaks to your passion for an otherwise unlikely subject (depending on the context) whereas a 'coffee geek' per se tends to have inherent qualities of 'geekiness' that make that person less endearing and more...dorky as a cohesive unit / human Geeks are ‘dorks’.

He is just as unlikely to listen to reason. Look up some interviews, he's just as perplexed that people would disagree with him and windoze as Dubya is when anyone doubts him and his ludicrous policies. Scary time!
