High-functioning geek

high-functioning geek, n. a geek who, despite their dedication to gaming or other geeky pursuits, can still dress well, behave in public, hold down a regular job, mix-in at a party, and get a boy/girlfriend; often considered mythical.
Ex: Gamer: "Have you seen my cape? My LARP starts in 10 minutes." Mundane: "You are such a geek!" Gamer: "Hey! I'm a high-functioning geek!" [GJ1]

Addendum: Robert Meyer Burnett's 1998 film Free Enterprise, with Eric McCormack (best known for Will & Grace) and William Shatner (best known for being William Shatner), is an inspiration to high-functioning geeks everywhere (think of it as Swingers meets Trekkies). [GJ1]
