Verb - a portmanteau of the words 'Wikipedia' and 'it'. Wikipedia being the online, openly collaborative encyclopedia, well known for holding defintions and information for over 16,000,000 articles in roughly 262 languages - making it possible to look up just about anything. To "wik it" is to use this site to find out about a particular subject quickly - albeit the information may be disputed and is not always 100% guaranteed to be completely factual.

Word of the Day on October 28, 2026
A lighthearted reaction upon receiving disappointing news of some sort. Usually something that isn't a particularly a big deal, esp. when it primarily affects someone else - sort of a mild schadenfreude. Sometimes doubled or tripled, and possibly said in a sing-songy voice for added comedic effect to imitate a muted trumpet, which is how the meme originated.
