Grim Googling

A portmanteau of "The Grim Reaper" and "Googling," this term describes when you Google long lost friends, extended family members, coworkers or even enemies to see if they are still alive. Typically this is done by inputting their name along with "obituary" into a search engine such as Google to see if anything comes up. This is sometimes--but ertainly not always--done in order to experience a feeling of schadenfreude.

Light Googling

2. When someone wants to use your genetic condition as a platform to address their unlrelated issues with you.

I did some Light Googling since I couldn’t sleep last night and came up with a list of all the things that may be wrong with you…
You came up with all that just by entering the word “alcohol”???
