Goochebag

A person who, instead of helping when someone asks them for genuine help, sends passive-aggressive links to Google, YouTube, or other sites, especially Let Me Google That For You (lmgtfy). In particular, a Goochebag overuses the techniques of teaching people when they should just learn how to use the internet, and applies them to situations where a person is legitimately asking for their help, not merely asking the answer to a trivial question. This form of antisocial response to requests for real-world aid is endemic to internet culture, especially among digital natives.

I asked my electrician buddy Aiden to help me rewire my dryer, but he’s such a Goochebag he sent me a link to YouTube video instead, like I’d asked him how to make scrambled eggs.
