wikibout 

Wikibout is a term for falling down that virtual, hyper-text rabbit hole of clicking on term after term, topic after topic, on Wikipedia. You started looking up one thing and then saw something that looked interesting and clicked on it, and before you know it, three hours have passed. You went from originally reading about the history of ice cream to reading all about baseball's greatest knuckleball pitchers. With lots of stuff in between too. A classic wikibout...

"I went on a wikibout. Lost track of the time I guess..."
