geek out
To temporarily enter techno-nerd mode while in a non-hackish context, for
example at parties held near computer equipment. Especially used when you need
to do or say something highly technical and don't have time to explain: "Pardon
me while I geek out for a moment."
See computer geek, propeller head.
