wikipedia is your friend 

A way to admonish a person who derails an Internet conversation by demanding the definition for commonly used words or phrases instead of taking a minute or two to simply look it up on Wikipedia.

"Last night I was playing WoW with some friends and these two Undead Rogues came out of nowhere and ganked me."
"What the hell is WoW and what is ganking?"
"WoW = World of Warcraft, ganking = player killing. Wikipedia is your friend, dude."

Wikipedia Limbo

The state of continually following links from page to page on Wikipedia researching topics that grow progressively distant from the original page.

I started out looking for info on wombats and got stuck in wikipedia limbo. Six hours later I was reading about ancient Rome.

wikipedia journey 

(n) When you start looking something up on wikipedia (usually something meaningful for a class or work) and end up clicking link after link of related topics in each article, until you've ended up on something completely unrelated and wasted a large amount of time on information you forget 1 hour later.

I started looking up micro albumin but went on a three hour wikipedia journey until I ended up on anal intercourse.

Wikipedia-Spree 

A Wikipedia-Spree is an extend period of time in which an individual constantly reads Wikipedia pages, jumping from one page to the next, motivated by curiosity. Usually the individual has no intentions of reading any of the Wikipedia pages they do read. The individual often looses track of time, only to find himself much more knowledge-full about useless knowledge.

"I totally didn't get my assignment done last night, I ended up going on a huge Wikipedia-spree for hours. On a brighter note I now know that the oldest hotel in the world was established in the year 718."

Wikipedia Theory 

The theory that all Wikipedia pages are somehow connected to others by links, and that you can get from one to another just by clicking links on each one.

I used the Wikipedia Theory to click my way from the article about unicorns to the one about the Apple iPad.
