Google University 

The school of choice for self described experts who make ridiculous claims and attempt to back them up with "evidence" gleaned from google searches. Signs attendance include links to various fringe websites, blogs, and media outlets well known for twisting facts to suit the position of the writer(s). Other signs include lack of credible evidence (or inclusion of anecdotal evidence) , the writer/blogger thinking they understand science better than scientists, and talk of government conspiracies.
"Other than the provided bullshit from google searches links, the best evidence available is the anecdotal evidence provided by interviews with blank, blank, and blank. The government, doctors, scientists, corporations don't want you to know this because it will cost them money, power, legitimacy. I have A degree from Google University many years of experience in dealing with this issue. Tell your friends, this conspiracy to hide the truth must stop!"

Google University 

The idea that you are an expert because you "googled it'.
Steve: Oh that dude thinks he's so smart. He must've gone to Google University.
Steve B: Or he could've just Binged that shit.

Google University 

A social media phenomenon where a commenter attempts to demonstrate knowledge obtained by searching on Google. This person has no legitimate degree from an accredited institution in said subject/topic, but will use unverified & inaccurate sources from websites searched on the search engine to prove their point on the topic being discussed.
After reading a ridiculous comment from someone that posted a link:

"Oh look, someone got their degree from Google University".

University of Google 

When someone is over-reliant on Google for information, he or she is said to have matriculated at the University of Google. This is an especially appropriate characterization when individual is, by reputation, a major ignoramus who has attempted refashioned himself/herself into a pseudo-intellectual since the advent of the Internet.
Guy 1: Anthony is getting unbearable to be around. I'm sick of his dilettantish, whimsical, and flat-out stupid musings about string theory. As I recall, Anthony barely graduated high school and worked at McDonalds for ten years.

Guy 2: Yeah, well, he's currently enrolled at the University of Google.
The word 'flag' as pronounced by people with thick Belfast accents. The term is a perfect encapsulation of the disproportionate and overblown reaction to the removal of the Union Jack (as in 'de fleg') from above City Hall in Belfast. Where previously it had flown for 365 days per year, it is now flown on 17 designated days of the year - in line with many other British cities.

The event caused a portion of the Protestant community ('fleggers') to make international pricks of themselves as they proceeded to wreck the fucking place, claiming it was another erosion of a 'British' identity they perceive to have been under attack since the horrifying spectre of equality reared its head in Northern Ireland.

The word 'fleg' - and indeed 'fleggers' - fittingly describes a section of humanity unconcerned with knowledge, reality or the vagaries of the English language. Like America's tea-baggers they are ruled by instinct, fear and paranoia with a side dish of rampant bigotry and startling ignorance of the world around them.
"Wat de fuck like! The taigs got de fleg took down! Let's wreck de fuckin place! No surrender!"

"De fleg has been took down! Before ye know it there'll be a united Ireland! Attack Short Strand! God Save The Queen!"

To take something small, that doesn't quite qualify as a theft. Probably from the Danish "skæv" or the Dutch "scheef", both of which are pronounced similarly, meaning "askew, or not quite right'. To change an item's ownership without permission, but only something small and of little worth.
"I skeefed an apple off the neighbor's tree." "I skeefed some chips outta your bag when you looked away." "Don't skeef my chair when I go to the bathroom."
