The same as the person who is called a geek.
(Pronunciation : djik , from English )
> Il est un geek.
"C'est un geek."
> Sa femme est une geeke.
"Sa femme est une geek."
(no feminine form, this is not an adjective; and don't forget we have
difficulties making feminine forms of many words ;-)
> Leurs enfants, Lise, Claire et Paul, sont des geeks.
Right.
> A family of geeks :)
Oh God...
