Expressions from my writing "Pride but prejudice"

I would like to share some expressions I used in my blog entry "Pride but prejudice".
  • geek (not in the meaning of 'computer enthusiast'): an excessive studier, an eager beaver, a bookworm, a wonk. 'stréber, buzgómócsing'
  • Rom (or rom): a gipsy man (Roma in plural). 'roma (férfi)'
  • abusive: insulting, rude. 'sértő, sértegető'
  • superficially: externally, not thoroughly. 'felszínesen, felületesen'
According to Google's define operator, stereotype means:
"An exaggerated image of the characteristics of a particular group."
"[A] negative or limiting preconceived belief about a certain type of person that is applied to everyone in that group."
