geek out
Dive deep passionately
To geek out is to enthusiastically engage with a niche interest or hobby, often in excessive detail: We geeked out over the new Star Wars trailer, She'll geek out about medieval history if you let her.
The phrase captures the joy of unrestrained enthusiasm among fellow enthusiasts, without the negative connotations geek once carried.
