So geeky nerd is OK but nerdy geek doesnt work.

I would extend the definition of nerd to include weird but non-threatening males.

I, on the other hand, am a pervy nerd. HTH.

I think it's a question of precedence:

- a geeky nerd is a poor guy (they are usually male aren't they) who was quite nerdish as a youth and found refuge in a geeky world.
- whereas a nerdy geek is a poor guy (male again, sorry) who was quite geeky as a youth and found refuge in a nerdy world.

Hope that clears it.
