WikiSpree

The act of spending far more time browsing Wikipedia that one otherwise would; usually caused by general interest in one item, only to have spent hours clicking on related links in an urge to know everything.

Johnny was late to class because he went on a WikiSpree about the connection behind Seagram's Distillery and Polydor Records, which caused him to forgo sleep.

"Dude, you look totally exhausted. What'd you get up to last night?
"Well, I went on a WikiSpree to look up Husky dogs, but ended up clicking on every link related to dogs in general!"

wikipeed on

Having a friend or teacher educate you to the fact anyone can put something on Wikipedia, and the reference you used was made up.

I was researching 9/11 and found out from the Wikipedia sit that it was a CIA plot.
Man, you have been wikipeed on. Anybody with internet access can put something on that site.

Wiki spree

When you go to Wikipedia for some reason, end up clicking one link, then another, then another, until hours has passed and you have no idea what you first came to read about. This realization is usually followed by futile attempts to retrace the steps in your mind.

I just went on a mad Wiki spree! I was on Wikipedia to read about the Seychelles, then an hour later I found myself reading about the history of erotic depictions, PDA, and the demographics of China! I have no idea how I got there :(

wikicreeping

When you discover an actor/artist and quickly go on wikipedia to wikicreep on them, learning about their childhood, their parents, grandparents, siblings, dog that died at age 14, first kiss, favorite color, size of shoe, how their best friend's uncle got them a job at the restaurant where a modeling agent discovered them...

At the end you feel like you know way too much and not enough about this complete stranger who has no idea who you are and that you now know about the time they got pants'd at that party in high school.

Person1: Jennifer Connelly is hot.

Person2: Yeah, you should see Requiem for a Dream.

Person1: (8 minutes later) I just wikicreeped the hell out of her...apparently Requiem is considered her breakout role. Did you know she has 3 kids? She grew up in Brooklyn. She also released a record in Japan...in Japanese.

---

Person1: What're you doing?

Person2: Just wikicreeping on that brown kid from One Direction.
