dweebish
Geeky and uncool
Dweebish describes someone or something having the qualities of a dweeb—socially awkward, unfashionably studious, or nerdy in an uncool way.
His dweebish enthusiasm for spreadsheets was actually kind of endearing.
The word carries mild mockery but often with affection, especially in self-deprecating use.
