Tonight, for the first time I can remember, I heard someone on the radio use the term geek the way I usually use it. It was a piece on All Things Considered, an interview with one of the musicians from The Long Players; he referred to himself as a "record geek," meaning that he's a passionate expert on record-related trivia.

Really? I thought by now everybody was using it this way, like in Beat the Geeks.

I've heard it used like that a lot, and used it that way myself. Well, not for records. You know what I mean.
