University of Google

When someone is over-reliant on Google for information, he or she is said to have matriculated at the University of Google. This is an especially appropriate characterization when individual is, by reputation, a major ignoramus who has attempted refashioned himself/herself into a pseudo-intellectual since the advent of the Internet.

Guy 1: Anthony is getting unbearable to be around. I'm sick of his dilettantish, whimsical, and flat-out stupid musings about string theory. As I recall, Anthony barely graduated high school and worked at McDonalds for ten years.

Guy 2: Yeah, well, he's currently enrolled at the University of Google.

V. This is what happens to you when you start to Google a subject but become sidetracked by results that have nothing to do with the original/intended subject. Resulting is forgetting what you were originally looking up, or delaying the desired information.

Allison: "Let's Google arctic penguins."
Danny: "Ok. Hey! Look at these images of the polar ice caps!"
Allison: "That's crazy. Are they melting?"
Danny: "It look's like it. Do you believe all the hype about global warming?"
Allison: "Yeah, but, wait, I thought we were googling penguins. We're getting Google-Sided."
