Using technical language. Geekspeak is necessary among computer people but if used to try to explain technical issues to the lay person, it can be exasperating. Also called "nerdspeak," there is so much lingo in the computer industry that it should be kept to a minimum when dealing with non-technical people. Geekspeak may also refer to writing acronyms instead of words (see
digispeak). See
geek and
Geekonics.
