Nerds are smart, and socially awkward.  Geeks are highly interested/obsessed with stuff..

I used to work in media.  The worst nerd/geeks in the entire business were some of the sports dudes.  Totally incapable of discussing anything with another adult human other than their obsession; totally uncomfortable in any setting other than their obsession. 

But then... "The only true currency in this bankrupt world is what you share with someone else when you're uncool."

Sorry to be so out of touch, but I noticed you "defined" Nerds and Geeks.

Could you do the same for the other two as well?

Only Poindexter I know is Buster, and I don't think that's what you are referring to.

All I could figure out by googling the terms is that dweeb is a synonym for nerd and geek (but how could that be?  Nerds are different from geeks).  Poindexters are nerds who aren't smart as far as I could tell.
