Coining a word for Non-geek folk!

[TheLetterD]

Lets coin a term for non geek people(If there isnt already one)!
Like we have Muggels for Non-Magic folk, and n00bs for Non-Gamers!

Hmmm...bleeks!
Just came to my mind

 

[Sarath]

noob for non-gamers?

How can a non-gamer be a noob? He just doesn't game.

Noob is a gamer who doesn't play well, especially in comparison to his teammates, mostly leading to downfall of the entire team.

Counting backwards now...

Not being a geek is not a crime.

The people who are "not" geeks, are simply who are "not".
I don't think any term is required to represent them!

That being said.. I think I have a term for non-geek Indians --> "Yindans"?

PS: I would also go with, "Bleek" as suggested by shubh.h. Since it rhymes with geek, and it's not already a dictionary term.

 

[Sarath]

I think using "he/she is not a geek" suffices for now.

Geek is an extreme word. Someone who is not a geek can still be a user of many gadgets. So the opposite "word" may convey a wrong meaning, i.e. the the non-geek person doesn't know anything or use anything.

Ok 2 Votes for Bleek
1 for Dumba** XD

Then Bleek it is.
Or if anyone can come up with something else that would be great!

Hmm actually Bleeks is not that bad.
Any more ideas?
What about Keegs?

 

[Sarath]

"keeg" & "keegs"
Opposite of geek

whoa! that's some coincidence

hahah Sarath have a ! we are not actually adding the word to the Oxford Dictionary
Its just for fun!

Yes LOL then Keegs it is!

"Yindans".... or "Yindians"

Fact is in the same geographic location - two countries and two nationalities co-exist.

India and "Yindia"
Indians and "Yindans"

The sad part is, Yindans outweight "Indians" by the ratio of 10000:1.

To know more about "Yindans" read the comments on Rediff.com and ToI.com.

[red dragon]

May I assume,everyone posted here consider themselves geek?

 

[acidCow]

2. a computer expert or enthusiast (a term of pride as self-reference, but often considered offensive when used by outsiders.)

Whoever could find his way into this/any forum can be considered a computer enthusiast and hence a geek.

 

[axes2t2]

Whats the symbol for "not" as in and,or,not logic....so it can be [symbol for not]Geek.
