      --which is why "film geek", "theatre geek", and "music geek" are acceptable, "fashion geek" is a stretch, but **** like "fitness geek" are right out and a mockery of the term, a case where wannabe trend-followers are trying to attach their **** onto what is now in vogue, i.e., geek chic.

      Do you agree?
      Nope.
