Wikifarianism

An offset of Atheism, the belief that more can be learned from Wikipedia than any religion or God.
Person 1: Yo dude so I heard you're an Atheist?
Person 2: No man I follow Wikifarianism.
Person 1: What the hell does that mean?
Person 2: I worship the sacred scripture of the Random Article page.

WikiFucked

The act of accessing Wikipedia with the intention of viewing a page for a few minutes, but then inevitably getting trapped in a hellish jungle of links of information that goes into a paradox and rapes you of hours of your time.
Person 1: Dude, I went on Wikipedia just to read up some musician, but then I ended up reading up on the history of the Roman Empire for 15 hours.

Person 2: Man, you got completely WikiFucked.

Wikifari

A prolonged visit to wikipedia during which contextual links are followed until the user is reading pages that have nothing to do with the original subject they sought. Particularly exciting wikifaris end up coming back to the original page at some point.
OMG! I went on the most incredible wikifari last night! I started with Nirvana, got all the way to osmotic pressure, and then, 5 hours later, I was at Nirvana again!

Man, there's a test coming up, I better go on a wikifari.

wikisurf

The act of coursing through wikipedia by clicking on the blue internal links repeatedly, generally following where one's whims will take them and not necessarily in any particular pattern. The activity can last from mere seconds to consuming one's entire day.

wikifarming

Using Wikipedia to unearth tidbits of knowledge for the purpose of bringing them up in conversation, in a despondent effort to make oneself seem smarter.
Typical subjects of wikifarming include theoretical physics, trivia from sitcoms, basic psychology, the works of Nostradamus, Shakespeare's tragedies, statistics from practically any organized sport (most often football or baseball), the Renaissance, and pretty much anything that could make one appear more knowledgeable in front of the right people. Usually fails.
A. "I was doing some research last night, and I found out that any four-dimensional object in four-dimensional space will cast a three-dimensional shadow. Turns out, most physicists agree that little, if anything, can be gained scientifically from assuming the fourth dimension to be time, but rather as another spatial axis, which is how..."

B. "Someone's been wikifarming."
