Wikibrain 

the state in which you unconsciously jump from thought to thought due to extended exposure to Wikipedia's many random links.
An accompanying side effect could be the recitation of random and useless facts and stories. The person afflicted with Wikipedia Memory most likely does not understand what he or she is saying. See Wikipedia Scholar

Someone afflicted with Wikibrain should immediately see their local hospital for a castration, lest the stupid spread to any children.
"Hey man why didn't you do your homework?"
"I don't know, I was looking up how to do trigonometry when I ended up reading an article on Norton, the emperor of the United States. It seems he was insane."

"Man, you have some serious Wikibrain"

"Yeah... Btw did you know according to Cartesian Dualism there are dual commitments about the nature of existence as it relates to mind and matter? That means I exist in two places at once. Therefore, I can eat my burger twice!"

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.

Me: Woah! TLDU!
