Google Shopping

A division of Google that lets you search all online shops. It can be very useful in some cases...but usually you get really repetitive results.
Dude 1: Ugh, I can't find any tourettes guy DVDs on Ebay or Amazon.com!
Dude 2: Oh...well then try a Google Shopping search.
Dude 1: It says, "You search did not match any documents"!
Dude 2: Well, sucks for you. Go find it in a store.

Google gayness

A celebrity's 'gayness score' as determined by Google's auto-complete feature. The first 10 results this auto-complete feature shows are in turn based on the public's searches when looking up info on a celebrity they suspect is gay or whose relationship status/sexual orientation they are curious about.

Based on an online article written by Steve Sailer titled 'Google Gaydar' and a reaction of a commenter to said article.
(N.B. examples are bits from the original article)

Ex. 1:
When you type in “Bill Murray” and hit the space bar, Google offers you the 10 most popular ways to complete the search phrase (e.g., “Bill Murray movies” and “Bill Murray net worth”). None of the 10 suggestions for Murray includes the word “gay.”
When you type “Bill Murray g.” You’ll get ten g-word suggestions such as “Ghostbusters 3,” “Garfield,” and “golf,” but once again, not “gay.”

Thus, on a 0-100 scale, Bill Murray's Google gayness is 0.

Ex. 2:
When you type in “Kevin Spacey,” the word “gay” is immediately proposed as the single most efficient suggestion to finish your search. So Spacey's Google gayness is 100.

Methodology alert: the Google gayness scale is set so that if the first prompt offered is “gay,” the score is 100. If it’s the second prompt they score 90, the third 80, and so forth. If none of the ten auto-completions is “gay,” then add the letter “g” after the celebrity's name, with one point for each ranking up from the bottom.

blame google

When blaming Bill Gates for all your technology problems fell out of style. A new phrase was born. One that is far more accurate.

Person 2: blame google

Google-second

A common noun, describing the action of looking up something on Google (or really any search engine), usually as an attempt to verify, answer, or help someone in one way or another.
I was talking to my friend on IM the other day and we both realized we don't know how the lineup works for ACL festival regarding single day passes. I deduced that contacting organizers would be the best bet but didn't know who they were when she asked me.

I said , "gimme a Google-second and I'll be right back with the answer!"

I will now use gsec instead (sounds cooler /shorter) and unfortunately see myself using this phrase a lot because apparently the Internet is still just YouTube and porn to many

Google Remembers

When a web page or image is in Google's cache after the page/image is deleted, and it's only trace can be found through google.
This often leads to frustration when someone is looking for a specific page or picture, you'll see a sample of text or a shrunk image that looks like what you want. Then you click to see more/full size, and you get a 404 error.
Guy1: Hey did you print that hi res picture for me like I asked?

Guy2: I can't, not even Google Remembers it!

Google Diagnostic

Used by "Do It Yourselfer" to find out what's wrong with something. Person that uses Google search engine to check forums and topic specific web sites to find what part they should throw at the problem. Can be used for a check engine light on a car to a washing machine or a PC with the blue screen of death.
My engine light was on so I did a Google diagnostic and all the people on the forums say it needs a putooter valve. I replaced it and my lights still on,wtf
