quick-wiki

When someone asks you or someone around you about something, and you use Wikipedia to find the answer quickly, so you can tell the asker what it is.

"Hey, does anyone know what the capital of Luxembourg is?"
"Err..." *pulls out phone and quick-wiki's Luxembourg* "The capital is also called Luxembourg."
"Cheers mate. You're so smart."
"Nah, I just quick-wiki'ed it."

Wiki-pulled

The act of reading a Wikipedia page, then following a link to another Wikipedia page of related interest, then from this page following another link. Eventually you end up an hour later reading stuff completely irrelevant to what you originally looked up!

Jr - Hey, what took you so long?

Ash - Man, I was looking up electronic fuel injection on Wikipedia and ended up reading about independent Pacific island communities 40 minutes later.

Jr - Whoa, you were well and truly Wiki-pulled
