Wikipedia

A free online open-source encyclopedia that unfortunately falls prey to the pseudo-intellectual pimply obese 12 year olds who so often become moderators on internet forums. While the idea of everyone in the world compiling their knowledge into one source is pretty good, the fact that anybody can edit anything and that what classifies as a "neutral point of view" is decided by opinionated teenagers prevents Wikipedia from being a legitimate encyclopedia and maintains its role as a dumping ground for useless anime trivia and pointless facts about final fantasy characters. While it shouldn't be hard to touch up and change the more opinionated and useless articles, "Wikipedians" would much rather debate the most pointless and trivial details of whatever the situation is than actually fix anything.

My teacher wouldn't let me use Wikipedia because she said it didn't count as a real encyclopedia.

wikipedia

The world's largest forum for anonymous arguments. Argue with everyone in the world on any topic imaginable. You may be Stephen Hawking, so-called "expert", but you need to reconcile your views on black holes with Bob from Idaho who thinks they are portals to Narnia and find some neutral point of view that you can both agree on.

I wanted to find a place to argue about Bruce Jenner's Wheaties boxes and found Wikipedia.

wikigasm

The ultimate joy gained from obtaining pleasure in Reading wikipedia articles. It also can be described as the moment of action when one presses the "Random Article" link on the wikipedia navigation bar or following links from article to article, until you're in such an ambiguous article that you forget where you are. And if you have absolutely no life, you can get a wikigasm by just editing wikipedia. (just kidding, wiki editors. or am i. mwaaahahahaha)

Weird Al: Shopping online for deals on some writable media, I edit Wikipedia, I memorized the Holy Grail, Really well, I can recite it right now have you, ROTFLOL!!!
Me: I wonder if Weird Al has wikigasms...

Paul: I'm going on a Wiki Quest! WIKIGASM!!!

The Dude: Dude, I started out on 18th century composers for my history project, but ended up on tectonophysics.

Wikipedia Famous

When you have achieved fame enough that you name and bio can be found on Wikipedia.

"Kurt Loder is Wikipedia famous, who knew"
"Only cool people are Wikipedia famous"
"Your a nobody if your not at least Wikipedia Famous"

University of Wikipedia

When someone is over-reliant on Wikipedia for information, he or she is said to have matriculated at the University of Wikipedia. This is an especially appropriate characterization when the individual is disseminating questionable information or is curiously reluctant to cite a specific source upon request.

Guy 1: Mike was always a major dumbass. Any idea what's up with this Saussure crap he's been spewing all of a sudden? He never attended college, did he?

Guy 2: Not unless you count the University of Wikipedia.

Guy 1: That makes sense. A lot of his information is very off-base.

Wikipedia Brown

A person who fancies himself an expert in many things but whose expertise derives largely or solely from the internet. The shallowness of his/her knowledge base is often betrayed by obvious factual errors. (The antithesis of "Encyclopedia Brown", the fictional boy detective in the eponymous literary series.)

Jim: Did you know that scientists found vestigial wings in a mummified komodo dragon?

Hal: You're a real Wikipedia Brown.
