June 2nd, 2009
Because I use the word in my profile, I feel I should define it for clarity, just in case it's not abundantly obvious what I mean. Others have probably formed this compound word independently as the shortest distance towards expressing an idea whose time has come. 'Geekelicious' (also spelled 'geekylicious') is like 'bootylicious' (which is in turn an almost-exact synonym for 'callipygian', but I've never met anyone who uses both words), except, irrespective of the possible deliciousness of the subject's posterior region, centers (without excluding other positive traits) upon their quirky, interesting, and sizable intellect. Examples of the geekelicious female in broadcast media include: Penelope Garcia (Kirsten Vangsness' sassy hacker character on 'Criminal Minds'), the token hot Goth chick Abbey on 'NCIS', Deanna Troi (Marina Sirtis' serene psychotherapist from way back in 'Star Trek:the Next Generation') and Willow Rosenberg from 'Buffy' (or any Allyson Hannigan role, really)
Disclaimers: yes, they're all fictional. I know real women who fit, but they aren't famous enough to be public examples. The famous real people might be, but I don't know them well enough. It's possible, although unlikely, that Ms. Hannigan plays multiple characters with certain mannerisms and geeky leanings, but is nothing like that in person. Also, I didn't fact-check this entry. I'd make it perfect if it needed it. Ship's Counselor might be more like a psychoanalyst than a psychotherapist, "Abbey" might be spelled wrong, Amber Benson might not be the one who played Tara, and Summer Glau might not be as tall in metric as xkcd says. ...hrm. y'know, maybe four examples is plenty.
