Finnish link so don't bother. Merriam-Websters dictionary (newest one) will have three nice words. First one is "bimbo", which means airheaded man. Second one is "drama queen" which means, well you know what it means. Third one is the best. "To google", which means to search information via Google.

Really, "to google"? Is it really THAT popular now?

Seriously?

Teachers say it all the time to us. Google this, google that; it's used quite commonly here anyway.

Its become such a dominant force in the market; it's turned into the new 'to hoover' :wink:

The phrase isn't as literal as 'TO Google', the 'to' is just preceding the actual verb like 'to run' or 'to hide' etc. etc.

Google it. :)
