geek-out
Dive deep enthusiastically
Geek-out is to indulge enthusiastically in a specialized interest, typically one considered nerdy or technical.
The term implies both deep knowledge and uninhibited excitement: We geeked out over the new telescope for hours.
Someone might geek out about comic books, programming languages, or obscure historical details.
The hyphen is optional.
