Geekisms permeate the mainstream culture, even in a story about counter-cultural nudism.

It's no surprise that old people don't like young people, even in a supposedly accepting group of "naturists." What drew my attention to the story (no, not the naked people, because nudists don't lie when they say their associations are not about sex, seriously, you guys) was the nice little pun the author threw in the middle of the article.
Despite a mutual interest in a sustaining a shared cause, the nudebies acknowledge a rift between the generations.
 "Nudebies," heh. From newbies, or n00bs, shortened from "new bulletin board system members." How many people even know that "new bbs" members came from the ancient days of the 1980's? Geekisms! Love it!
