    etoven is often hard to comprehend, but in this case I think he's quoting both a webster dictionary entry (a reason why "webster" should basically be considered "the english language for children"), and also apparently, google advertising.

    However, I will never use google as a verb. Why not just "search"? It's not nearly as retarded, and it isn't selling a company line. Same reason I don't call all video games "Nintendos".

    Does anyone use the term "xerox" as a verb any more? I only hear "copy".

    It is falling out of use, yeah.

    But then again, I don't often hear people using "Nintendo" as a blanket term for all videogames anymore, either. I think the most common example of this sort of thing I see these days is using the term 'iPod' in reference to any MP3 player, regardless of manufacturer.

    That's true. Also, everyone seems to call all PDAs "Blackberries" and all DVRs "Tivos",

    My original point is:
    1. That "Google" is a trademark not a word but was some how included in what may be considered todays most prominate dictinary.
    2. That there is a flagerent use of googles services that some how made an inclusion in websters.

    Do you really think this is the first instance?

    Linoleum and Cellophane were once trademarked brand names, too. Plexiglas still is. You'll find them all in dictionaries today.

    Eh, it's a joke. Bad one sure (he tries to be lazy but...), but it was a joke.

    Oh sure. He steals my "bug nupples" schtick, and all of a sudden I'm trying to be like him.

    But really, haven't we all tried to be like lazy. Sure, stapling 3 inches of raw beef (eye fillet) to the end of my penis was a trifle overzealous, but the long hair and questionably aged porn collections are coming along.

    Anyways, etoven. I don't hate you. Actually, I'm quite fond of you. In fact, if you lived closer to me, I'm sure we would be able to hang out and go bowling followed by a nice white hot mug o' java to end the evening. Enough to slake any mans avarice for male oriented bonding.
