Google Foul

A Google Foul occurs when someone, during the course of an email exchange (or other, non-live conversation), takes a time out to Google something and then re-enters the conversation as an expert on the topic, pretending they knew the info all along.
Dad: Hey son, whatcha' listening to?

Son (without removing oversized headphones): Just some really cool mash ups I found"

(Interlude as Dad runs to his computer, Googles "mash up" and then Googles "Top ten mash ups all time".) Then later...

Dad: Yeah, Son, you should check out the mash up of Rick Astley and Nirvanna, it's totally rad. Mash ups are really cool."

Son: I call a Google Foul. That one is really old and you didn't even know what a mash up WAS yesterday, did you?"

Dad: (Slinks away mumbling about interest rates and the global economic crisis. )

googleful

A word popularized by Saturday Night Live's Andy Samberg on the MTV Movie Awards. He acted as the founder of Google and told Jessica Alba, the hostess, that she was one of the most searched women online on a funny sketch.

Then he replied "You're googleful, you're googleful, it's true" in the rythm of the famous James Blunt "You're Beautiful" song.
