My brother's First Word magazine warns, If you're into your work, you'll turn out a spod, the lowest form of college life. Escape from spod is hazardous, and may result in geek tendencies.
Geeks are basically spods who have developed an eccentric and random sideline.
Collecting putty for instance. Being amongst spods can be a frightening experience for anyone who hasn't been fully briefed in what to expect. However, once you know the signs, a spod can be easily spotted, and avoided if necessary. A spod uses the term, woo , or in extreme cases, woo, Woo, WOO as a multi-pupose greeting. E.g. brb, imho and rotfl.
