Googltian
Pronunciation: /ˈɡu ɡəltiən/
Sound: GOO-gul-tee-un
Part of speech: noun

Definition:
A person who researches, assembles, and reports information mainly through online search engines such as Google, without fully verifying, classifying, or separating reliable facts from false, fake, weak, or non-academic information.

Extended meaning:
A Googltian is a directive online researcher or information assembler who gathers search-engine results and presents them as a report, argument, comment, or debate position. The term often describes someone who depends mostly on internet search results rather than academic sources, expert verification, primary documents, or proven factual classification.

Origin:
Formed from “Google” + “-tian,” suggesting a person shaped by or devoted to search-engine-based information gathering.

Related idea:
A Googltian is not necessarily a professional researcher. The word describes a person who collects online information and turns it into a report or argument without deep source verification.
Example sentence:
“He spoke confidently in the debate, but his argument sounded like a Googltian report because it was based only on online search results, not verified academic evidence.”

Another example:
“A Googltian can collect many links quickly, but may fail to recognize which sources are false, biased, fake, or unsupported.”

Googlemancy 

In RPGs , magic such as Necromancy (controlling the dead) and Pyromancy (manipulating fire) are often skills that can be leveled up. As such, Googlemancy is the power to manipulate Google to find what you're looking for. Often used in work places, where an old and senile boss will aproach an underling to find some information for him, due to the latter's higher level of Googlemancy.

Word of the Day on October 4, 2026
British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
According to the boffins downstairs, the murderer used a serrated blade.

Pee Calculus

When you have to pee in a movie but don’t want to miss anything, and must do the following mental equation: will the amount I have to pee cause enough discomfort to diminish my attention capacity for the remainder of the movie to an extent which is greater than the amount of the movie I would miss by making a mad dash to the restroom.
I saw Satantango last night, wonderful film but by the 5th hour I had to start doing pee calculus.
