twerp: a person who bites the bubbles of their own farts in the bathtub
jerk: a person who masturbates to the point of weird
geek: a man who lies in a cage on a bed of filthy straw in a carnival freak show who bites the heads off live chickens and makes subhuman noises, and is billed as having been raised by wild animals in the jungles of Borneo. He has sunk as low as a human being can sink in the American social order except for his final resting place in a potter's field.

i suppose you learn something new every day

Umm...is it me or do those definitions not seem gramatically correct (ie Jerk)?
And do you honestly look for this shit or did you just happen to come across these definitions?

The funny thing is, those are accurate. Not to the extent of some of the other definitions, but the Geek one is definitely accurate, same with the jerk one. I've seen it too... but twerp... WTF?

Cat's Cradle was quite interesting... but I wonder, why is it banned from places for "Religious Reasons"?

Those are just the original definitions.
When you call someone a "jerk", it's usually more along the lines of being an "asshole".
"Twerp" is like a small, annoying person.
"Geek" is 75% of the CM. Usually affiliated with a strong love or understanding of technology.

Okay, guy goes off to find out the story of the "father of the nuclear bomb", and somehow ice-9 gets messed up with it, and all throughout the story, guy switches religion into whatever it was. I guess I thought banning a book due to "religious reasons" had to have a stronger base than that.
