The Latest Insult

The latest insult on the interwebs, just in time for the holiday season!

The easy version: GIYF---"Google is your friend!"

The smackdown version: LMGTFY--- "Let me google that for you!"
fill in the search field in this URL: http://www.lmgtfy.com/?q=_____.

Suppose someone in comments says, "Neil Young! Who is Neil Young?" You would say, condescendingly, "GIYF!" (In other words, the doofus should use Google, not use you as a research assistant.)

But you could also just give them, http://www.lmgtfy.com/?q=Neil+Young" (TRY IT!)

The implied insult is even clearer, and LOTS more fun. Try it at Christmas parties. Family members LOVE being condescended to by a geek!

Dude: you have been using the pre-google version of this on me for decades now!

...that looked familiar; and yes, I did tip angus to it on september 2. :) figured you guys would get a kick out of it.

And Angus likely posted on it! We "scoop" each other pretty often that way.

It was new to ME, I'm sayin'.
