Fr. Miles Riley out in the Bay Area has been broadcasting on both radio and TV for YEARS that he is from the God Squad, long before the term *geek* was coined by computer people, long before Best Buy existed. They will lose this one.

Geek was not coined by computer people. There were carnival performers called geeks before anyone ever saw a computer, they pretended to be wild men, biting heads off live chickens and doing other disgusting things, that is probably why young women sometimes refer to a very unattractive man as a geek. The term apparently originated as “geck” a long time ago.
