Google Widow

A spouse of a Google employee. A Google Widow spends most of her/his time alone due to their spouse's extreme working conditions, such as early mornings, late nights, and work trips. The Google Widow's situation is also pronounced by the fact that when her/his spouse is physically present, the quality of connection is often poor, as spouse is frequently consumed with stress due to work. Google Widows rarely interact with their spouse without having to compete with a computer, a phone, or other tech gadget that keeps them hooked to work. Though Fortune Magazine consistently ranks Google as the best place to work, Google Widows have complex and conflicted feelings about such an assertion.

Gloria, the Google Widow, will probably come to the party without Tom. Again.

Google Debunker

A term coined by TikTok creator Filip Zieba, who often covers conspiracy theories and pseudoarchaeology. It is used (by Filip himself) to shame and/or dissuade skeptics of Filip's content by calling them "google debunkers" and implying that a Google search that would disprove his misinformation is itself the misinformation.

"The Google Debunkers out there will claim that this is 'giant sloth' skeleton is real, but come on, it's obviously a primordial giant human."
(shows a picture of a Megatherium, a real extinct species of giant sloth)

Google Shaming

In addition to shaming a commenter who could have easily Googled an answer themselves, instead of asking and waiting around for someone to do it for them it can mean...

Shaming someone for using Google to understand something, or as the basis of their research. Just because you didn't get it from JSTOR doesn't mean it isn't a valid place to do your research. It's about thinking critically about your sources, not just the ease with which you got them. Don't Google Shame.

Person A: I have an opinion on a subject in which I am not an expert because of the things I have Googled...
Person B: Google isn't a fuckin degree, yo! Your hardly an expert!
Person A: Duh, get outta here with your Google Shaming. I can still be an educated, multi-faceted person who can form an opinion, yo.
Person B: Why don't you kill yourself and leave the opinions to the people who actually do this.
Person A: fuckin internet comments. *sigh*

Google

A dictionary. Quick and reliable. Especially when you tell other some meaning and don't want to let them know that you looked it up!

Faizy: Wow man you are genius!
Me: (proud) Thanks dude!

Google

Probably the most common site used to watch porn, whether it varies from porn hub to XXX type things. Really dependable though.

Get out of my room mom, I'm on google and I need some "ME" time.

Mr. Google

An apparent reference to early 20th century cartoon character Barney Google, who also inspired the 1923 song "Barney Google (with the Goo-Goo-Googly Eyes)". Used in an intertitle halfway into the 1928 silent screwball comedy "The Patsy", when Patricia 'the patsy' (played by Marion Davies), playing crazy, shoos away her mother so she can be alone with her sister's boyfriend.

Begone! It's Mr. Google!
OK —MNX.
