Thank You For Asking

I was just thinking today that I wished someone would ask about the phrase I coined. I guess "coined" might be taking it a bit far, but I am sure after this blog post is up, people everywhere will begin using it.

The phrase....Google-Pop. It's a verb and therefore can be conjugated into tenses.

This is what it means. Say you get into an argument of wits with someone and you know that you're right. Or someone throws out a piece of trivia that you know cannot be accurate or perhaps they question your knowledge about a piece of information you've contributed to a conversation. Obviously, we have all gone to the web before looking for the way to prove someone else wrong or ourselves right. The first place I search? Google. Then when I find the webpage that solves the argument of wits (in my favor of course), I email the webpage with the subject line, "You've been google-popped." To google-pop someone shows them that you're not one to let something go and that you will go to great lengths to prove yourself superior.

Obviously if Google is not your preferred way of searching on the web, you can use variations of the google-pop phrase. Two variations that I've come up with are Wiki-dis (when using Wikipedia) or Bing-ding (when using Bing).

I've got members of my family using this phrase so I consider it coined.
