>>>
As I see/hear it, dork matches geek a lot more closely than nerd does, in
all the non-semantic aspects of synonymy. Then again, nobody else seems to
be very interested in comparing geek/dork (nerd) to gorse/furze (whin).

        A gorse is a gorse, of course, of course,
        And fur's never found on the gorse, of course.
        They may be whin-ny, but never dorks,
        As Mike McKernan said!

sorry but not very...
