Geek nerd wimp dweeb

I thought "nerd" has also the meaning as "computer experts". However, I could not find. "Geek" only has positive meaning barely. The rest have no good meanings. I suppose I will feel a kind of proud if I called as "computer nerd".

geek
a digital-technology expert or enthusiast (a term of pride as self-reference, but often used disparagingly by others).
nerd
an intelligent but single-minded person obsessed with a nonsocial hobby or pursuit: a computer nerd.
wimp
a weak, ineffectual, timid person.
dweeb
Slang. nerd; wimp.
