Itsa a long story, but I'm glad you asked.

see, we young teenagers in nZ get really quite bored, walking along a road, with not much to do, so what we do is...

Do the hand thing whereyou hold ur two middle fingers down with your thumb, and yell SPOONGUARD!!!!! at passing cars. We get strange looks.

especially when you sit outside the girls college, and do it to simone, whos pretending she dosent know you...

unfortunatly, most of my friends in high school... now, I have nothing against star trek, but when you wear your dress uniform to school on fridays and days before holidays, and wear your rank pips on your jacket all the time, and think that the funniest thing of the year is that my last name rhymes with Ensign (Ensign {or however you spell that} Benson), god I got so sick of that joke! Yeah well, you kinda deserved to get teased. Not to mention failing high school spanish but being fluent in klingon.

It's because Trekkies speak "Cling On." This language is fictional, and should not be taken seriously. We need to have LESS languages in the world, and for trekkies to make one up starts world problems like hunger, global warming, no fish in the sea, etc. That is why people don't like trekkies, they are going to break the world in half! By the way Trekkies and D&D nerds are the only types I don't get along with. I consider myself every other type of nerd.

Why do diehard Trekkies (now called Trekkers) get teased (especially online?)

Because they obsess over a show that ran two seasons and was cancelled 30 years ago. They OBSESS about it. They're kind of easy to pick on because they don't usually get too offended at being called star trek geeks, in fact they take pride in who knows the most obscure trivia gleaned from snippits of lines. They congregate in sci-fi conventions and aren't typically the type of person who enters into fist fights over being picked on. They are easily recognized and most people are familiar enough with star trek to recognmize the principal characters. Also, if you recall (as we geezers tend to do) William Shatner the man Kirk himself took a cheap shot at his fans on saturday night live, in a skit poking not-so-gentle-fun at trekkies.

Did you ever see that movie/documentary "Trekkies"? It was a pretty brutal look at trekkies made by some fans themselves with the help of some of the more recent series' stars. Yeek, that guy with the Captain Pike chair.

Now, If you know who Captain Pike was, does that make you a trekkie? I've never actually seen an entire episode of the original Star Trek series, but I know who Captain Pike was, and what a tribble is. Dennis Miller used to make Star Trek jokes in his stand-up all the time. I don't think he was a Trekkie, maybe just a trekker. Geek. :)

Like they said, people pick on them for the same reasions they pick on Warhammer players, or geeks/nerds.

"Oh god! Oh god! We're going to die"
