Wasting time on google -- term?
June 19, 2009 7:30 AM Subscribe
What is the term (verb) for wasting time by not using Google to answer a question? Or also asking a question and wasting someone else's time by not looking it up on Google? And it's not lazy or Goopid.
This is for a desperate coworker.
(or "yoogle" may be better)

Response by poster: I'm looking for an actual, already established word (as well established as such a word can be right now....), not a new coinage.

If this word existed, we'd know about it in the library profession. This word doesn't exist except [possibly] as a recent coinage, or a fairly geographically limited neologism.

Response by poster: Thanks, jessamyn. I was skeptical myself, but decided to check anyway to see if I was behind the curve.

you could also just use luddite. it's not google-specific. or maybe it is?
