Google'd out.

You know how its really common to say you googled anything online. Anything you don't know, just google it. I don't even think about saying it anymore, it's just one of those things, it's natural. My parents are the kind of people who aren't really up to date with technology. My mom just figured out how to use the computer. So she's been finding all these people she knows and chatting online (she's on more than I am, I swear) and the other day I asked her a question, she didn't know and then she looked at me very slyly and said she would google it. She was so proud of herself for finally being able to use the phrase, and now she uses it all the time like she invented it. It's kind of sad. I almost don't even want to say it anymore because she uses it so often. Now, I use Wikipedia a lot. In the words of Michael Scott, "Wikipedia is the best thing ever. Anyone in the world can write anything they want about any subject. So you know you are getting the best possible information." My parents, of course, had no idea what wikipedia is, or what we meant when we said we were going to "wikipedia it". Then the other day, I was talking to my mom when she looked at me and said...."I Wikipedia-d it."
