The "gook" reference is a racial slur, as far as I know. Not even close to geek, which I think is universally accepted as a term of endearment after age 13 or so... ;)

Your right, in some places it is, don't think thats what they meant in this instance. The english language is incredible with all the assorted meanings.
Take the word tape, audio, video, scotch, masking, duck, double stick, measuring, fabric, metric, and probibly 2 dozen more i cant think of right now.
Bad is Good and Naughty sometimes Nice !!
Think they were talking about a movie from long ago, comedy if i recall. w/no racial intentions. :D

The joke around here is that I'm a 'gamer'
My son has some computer job and when I needed a new one I just left it all up to him. I just told him I want a computer that waits for me rather than me waiting for it. So he got me this monstosity that looks to me like it came from his favorite movie, The Matrix.
I had a family here to talk about getting a puppy, the computer in full view of where we sat, and the teenage son says "So I see you're a gamer?"
I didn't tell him, but I'll tell you, I guess there are seveeral drives on this thing, and for the longest time one was called, keep in mind the others are A,B,C,etc, I had one drive called "Moms Porn" I had no idea how to change it, but he did

Wait until you have computer "slaves". It is insane. One computer is connected to another and another and another... there's an unfortunate theme here.
