President Warren G. Harding's definitions
Someone reluctant, or downright afraid, to use google.com, the most popular search engine on the web. Whether their excuse is one of ignorance, fear, or anything else, this would all fall under the category of googlephobe.
Mick: Hey, I heard they caught a 110-pound coelacanth off the coast of Indonesia. I need to look that up on Yahoo.
Mike: Yahoo?! Man, quit bein' such a googlephobe.

Get the Googlephobemug. Selecting a movie from your Netflix queue at random, and watching it regardless of the result. This works best with the instant streaming feature on an XBox or PS3, where holding a button can shuffle past titles at a rapid rate, but is also possible on a home computer or even by mail.

Get the Netflix Roulettemug. A term invented by American sports-writers, used within college sports.
"Mid-Major" was originally used because no one had a good term to describe a college or conference less powerful than the BCS college/conferences, but more powerful than the next level down. The Division I-A non-BCS conferences, as of 2007, are the Mountain West, Conference USA, MAC, WAC and Sun Belt.
Sports writers and fans alike often express distase for the term, but no one has been able to come up with anything better yet.

1) The mid-major conferences had a good year in 2006, when Boise State upset Oklahoma in their bowl game.
2) Why does Michigan keep scheduling those mid-majors early in the season? Schedule a real team, already!

Get the Petflixmug. An NCAA collegiate conference formed in 1995, located in mostly the southeastern portion of the United States.
Initially a merger between two smaller conferences which did not sponsor football at the time, C-USA added its 12th member in 1996 to even out the membership.
Though members have left in the ensuing years, most notably to the expansion of the Big East prior to the 2005 season, Conference USA responded admirably by extending invitations to schools from the mid-major WAC and MAC conferences. As of 2010, C-USA has 12 universities in its fold, is recognized nationally in athletics as well as academics, and has more football bowl tie-ins than any other mid-major conference.
C-USA East:
University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) Blazers
University of Central Florida (UCF) Golden Knights
East Carolina University (ECU) Pirates
Marshall University Thundering Herd
Memphis Tigers
Southern Mississippi Golden Eagles
C-USA West:
University of Houston Cougars
Rice University Owls
Southern Methodist University (SMU) Mustangs
University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) Miners
Tulane Green Wave
Tulsa Golden Hurricane
