# Welcome to The Geek Code Version 5.0
The code is no longer case-sensitive, and can now be written in UPPERCASE or lowercase. To accomplish this, some categories and letters have been changed. Letter groupings are used so that there was no repetition of single letters among the categories.

## a,b,c,d - WETWARE (age/beard/clothing/dimensions)
## WETWARE (A,B,C,D) (age/beard/clothing/dimensions)
They say you never get a second chance to make a first impression.
The Geek, of course, doesn't believe any of that crap; on the internet, no one knows you're a dog, according to ancient meme. In any case this section allows you to list something about what you look like, conceivably for dating purposes or such nonsense. Also it lets us start off with 'abcd' for age/beard/clothing/dimensions.
### a – Age
### A = Age
The only way to become a true geek is through practice and experience. To this end, your age becomes an important part of your geekiness. Use the qualifiers below to show your age (in Terran years). Base 10 , wise guys.
```
a++++ = 60 and up
a+++ = 50-59
a++ = 40-49
a+ = 30-39
a_ = 25-29
a- = 20-24
a-- = 15-19
a--- = 10-14
a---- = 9 and under (Geek in training?)
a? = immortal
!a = it's none of your business how old I am
To share your exact age, place the number after 'a'. For example: a42
A++++ = 60 and up
A+++ = 50-59
A++ = 40-49
A+ = 30-39
A = 25-29
A- = 20-24
A-- = 15-19
A--- = 10-14
A---- = 9 and under (Geek in training?)
A? = immortal
!A = it's none of your business how old I am
A= = Share your exact age by placing a number after. For example: A=42

### b – beardliness/facial hair
### B = beardliness/facial hair
As facial hair plays some sort of role in geek space, serving as an expression of style, countercultural proclivities, etc. etc. and [unix beards](http://www.usenix.org.uk/content/unix_beards.html) being a thing we give it a category here despite its irrelevance to some fraction of the population.

### C – Clothing
```
c++ = I tend to wear conservative dress such as a business suit or worse, a tie.
c+ = Good leisure-wear. Slacks, button-shirt, etc. No jeans, tennis shoes, or t-shirts.
c = I dress a lot like those found in catalog ads. Bland, boring, without life or meaning.
c- = I'm usually in jeans and a t-shirt.
c-- = My t-shirts go a step further and have a trendy political message on them.
c--- = Punk dresser, including, but not limited to, torn jeans and shirts, body piercings, and prominent tattoos.
cx = Cross Dresser
c? = I have no idea what I am wearing right now, let alone what I wore yesterday.
!c = No clothing. Quite a fashion statement, don't you think?
cpu = I wear the same clothes all the time, no matter the occasion, forgetting to do laundry between wearings.

### D – Dimensions
Geeks come in many shapes and sizes. Shape code is divided into two parts delimited by a colon, the first indicating vertical, and the second horizontal extent.
```
d+++:+++ = I usually have to duck through doors/I take up three movie seats.
d++:++ = I'm a basketball/linebacker candidate.
d+:+ = I'm a little taller/rounder than most.
d: = I'm an average geek
d-:- = I look up to most people. Everyone tells me to gain a few pounds.
d--:-- = I look up to damn near everybody. I tend to have to fight against a strong breeze.
d---:--- = I take a phone book with me when I go out so I can see to eat dinner. My bones are poking through my skin.
