wiki knowledge

When somebody announces information or posts it on the internet that they clearly aquired through a wikipedia page, but they say it in a manner where you are supposed to believe that they just know it and are intelligent. However, when called upon it they rationalize how they obtained the information. Usually used by an educated individual who thinks they can pull it off.
Super Awesome Guy: Blah Blah Blah Someone has OCD about OCD. lolz

Random Troll Appears: Well OCD requires blah blah blah and blah blah blah. Sorry I took a class on it.

Observer: ^^Sweet wiki knowledge, bro.

wiki-vortex

Searching wikipedia for a specific subject but clicking on a link within the article and following on through an increasingly tangenital succession of information.
I skipped lunch today because a search for foods containing HDL's led me into a wiki-vortex. I'm still hungry, but now I have a fractal understanding of neuro-science.

Wiki Wonder

A "Wiki Wonder" is someone who posts on forums or blogs to let everyone know how smart they think they are. They want you to believe they know what they're talking or they have the definitive answer to a topic because they looked it up on wiki. In reality all they know is how to spell "wiki".

Or worse yet, they spew their answer without telling you they looked it up on wiki, as if they are somehow highly intelligent.
Dude I know what I'm talking about...I looked it up on wiki.

That ass hat don't know shit. He's nothing but a Wiki Wonder.

Wiki Hawk

Frequently referencing Wikipedia while watching a t.v. show to find out interesting historical facts about the program's cast.

Surfing Wikipedia continually out of sheer boredom.
Ex. Tonight, while watching Family Guy, I was being a Wiki Hawk and found out that Seth Mcfarland used to be a writer for the cartoon Johnny Bravo.

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
