Okay, I'm going to be brave here and try to start a new topic. So.... I'm working my way through another viewing of all the episodes of Sherlock, and occasionally noticing little bits I don't understand -- either because I'm not British, or haven't read enough ACD, or not attentive enough, or whatever. I know I could probably find the answers to most of these questions on Google but I thought it would be more fun to see if anyone on this forum would like to provide some answers. Most of these are questions of fact, but when they're not, feel free to theorize! And to add your own questions!

An article on the BBC news website caught my eye and got me wondering: Do the terms "Nerd" and "Geek" offend you, or have you proudly reclaimed them as a badge of honour? Do you even identify as a nerd or geek, are these descriptions relevant to how you see yourself or are they merely meaningless stereotypes? Have the tables been turned, is being clever now seen as something to aspire to rather than something to be ashamed of? Does the geek/nerd stereotype of a non-sporty socially awkward teen with no girlfriend still persist in these more enlightened times? Are more females identifying as geeks/nerds today or have they always existed and prejudices have traditionally ignored their existence? Your thoughts on the subject?
