Wikibender

Noun: An instance where you check something on Wikipedia, and get lost in clicking on other links. Usually it lasts for an hour, but can go all day. A very good way to soak your brain with useless, random knowledge.

I wanted to see where Duran Duran was from, and then I read the page on platinum, Cheerios, space food, Nelson Mandela, black holes, the gold standard, and human physical attractiveness. It was one hell of a wikibender.

"I went on a wikitangent from Helen Keller to Standard Oil to anti-trust laws by state to the Roman Empire to Pervez Musharaf... I'm so ADD."

Wiki-binge

Staying on wikipedia for hours on end, clicking on one linked term to the next, in a type of informational binge. Similar to a youtube trance.

Dasheeki: You still on wikipedia? Didn't you finish your research paper an hour ago?

Rawanda: Girl, I'm goin on a wiki-binge.

Dasheeki: What you need to do is snap out of it.

wikiing

1. Spending a copious amount of time (that can usually be spent doing something that is generally considered more productive) browsing and learning odd bits of trivia from www.wikipedia.org. *Wikiing can also be used if you are referring to adding a new Wikipedia entry or modifying a current one.

2. While www.wikipedia.org is the website that originated the word, wikiing can also be used if a user is utilizing other web-based wikis.

I've been wikiing all night long and now I'm going to screw myself over on my big test tomorrow.

I am so good at wikiing. I've made more entries than anyone ever.

I learn everything when I go wikiing at night.

Wikimongering

the annoying habit that some people have of allowing wikipedia to permeate every facet of their life to the extent that they must draw a connection to wikipedia in every possible situation, appropriate or not.

<Toothpaste> You should check Wikipedia for that, it has great make-up tips.

Toothpaste is always wikimongering.
