Fair point, but given the trope I'm looking to invoke ( http://medriscoll.com/post/9117396231/the-guild-of-silicon-valley http://medriscoll.com/post/9117396231/the-guild-of-silicon-v... ), I'm okay with the baggage. Is there a female version of neckbeard? Or a gender-neutral word with the same connotations? I fear the obvious wordplay is offensive for the wrong reasons: neckbroad?
