In a real-time online conversation of a technical nature, "google lag" is the 30 - 60 second delay between a person asking a question or making a statement and the time someone who has recently joined the conversation responds - the implication being that the newcomer is having to check google for information on the subject matter just to know what the hell everyone else is talking about. As excess of lag time can be indicative that someone who is never-the-less speaking excessively authoritaviely is actually pulling what they're saying off of google as much as they're pulling it out of their ass. The following conversation is an example of "google lag"
