BoKeRoN, actually, I had no idea, that fussy actually was a word. I thought it was just common misspelling of fuzzy.

[BoKeRoN]

I look for it in a dictionary:

remilgado,-a adj pey (repipi, afectado) fussy
(con la comida) picky

i.e. : "He's a bit fussy about cleanliness"

[W31RD0]

okay. didn't understand much of that, but got the main point.

Ok, enough of grammar classes for today! let´s get back to the Global Thermonuclear War thing!!!

Yes, please! I had enough of grammar yesterday in school. Two days in a row, with grammar, is 1½ day to much.

I found it funny when some american friends of ours thought that fluff was the english word for cake (americans don't have the word fluff, its lint to them). THey couldn't work out the funny looks at cafes they'd been in asking for chocolate fluff

[BoKeRoN]

Well, at least nobody in the forum will be confused about what the word "nuke" means... (again, trying to come back to the thermonuclear war thing...)

In many online video games (especially MMORPGs), the term nuke is generally used to describe a spell which is capable of dealing a great amount of damage to its target. More specifically, the term is applied to a player character's most damaging spell or spell-like ability.

Way off-topic:

The sort of person who would get really excited at the prospect of using a text editor on a 900 megahertz workstation to write out the definitions of technical terms.

A nerd is very similar to a geek, but with more RAM and a faster modem. Nerds often find geeks dull because geeks don't spend enough time talking about computers.

I've always thought that a geek and a nerd was the same thing?

from what i can tell nerd and geek aren't the same. A nerd is anyone uncool, normally a geeky person interested in computers, technology etc. However geeks are nerds but are more intelligent. Geeks and very clever and are very good with technology. Nerds are wanna be geeks but aren't intelligent enough.
Thats my take on it at any rate.

[alphager]

Nerds and Geeks are not the same thing!

Geeks are heavily interested in their field and know allmost everything about it (example: Star Trek Geeks can name all hobbies of Picard)
Nerds are like Geeks, but their main focus in life is their field (example: Star Trek nerds have no other communication-subject than Picards hobbies).

[W31RD0]

okay. in that case, I must be a geek, although I don't know everything about computers, but I can speak about other things than computers.

We use fluff in the US. Though generally, it is used as an adjective, i.e. fluffer girl. Take that as you will :)
