An anorak god is the undisputed master of niche knowledge — someone so thoroughly, completely immersed in their specialist subject that lesser anoraks look to them with reverence. This isn't casual enthusiasm or light hobbyism; this is decades of accumulated minutiae, a mental database that puts Wikipedia to shame, and an ability to answer questions that nobody even knew to ask. On forums, in enthusiast circles, and in that one weird club that meets in a community centre, the anorak god is both authority and legend. The title is earned through sheer, joyful, slightly unnerving depth of knowledge.
Ask him about pre-Grouper timetabling — he's an absolute anorak god, knows every deviation.
