I might have to steal that one from you.<br/><br/>Matt - It's hard enough to define geek and geek girl is just an extension of that complexity. It's something we could think about and define in time :) Jane – that’s a great idea for a GGD. I might have to steal that one from you.

Assuming the definition of girl in the looser sense (i.e. the set of all female humans, as opposed to the set of immature female humans), next we have to <a HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geek#Definitions" REL="nofollow">define "geek"</a>. I'd go for the last definition - one whose devotion to a subject places them outside the mainstream, so you don't have to be (but could be) a tech geek - you might be an arts geek just as easily.
