"geeker" means: A drug addict.. There is a drug-related reference, so this is one worth noticing without overreacting.

For ESL learners

In formal writing, prefer a neutral synonym or a short descriptive phrase, and use this word only when you have heard or read it being used naturally in a comparable context.
