That cannot fly.

Hold fast to dreams
For when dreams go
Life is a barren field
Frozen with snow."—Langston Hughes

geek, n. [geek, gēk]
This informal term for an overly intellectual person who is either unfashionable or an obsessive enthusiast (e.g. computer geek) is US slang from the related 16th century English dialect word geck 'fool,' from Low German gek. It is also related to Dutch gek 'mad, silly.' The early use of this term was to describe a 'wild man' - often times an alcoholic - at a carnival who would bite the heads off of live chickens or snakes. The term later changed to refer to anyone who had sunk to the lowest depths of degradation. By the 19th century, geek was back to its original meaning of 'fool,' and it wasn't until around 1915-1920 that it took on its current definition.
