my alternative term to "googling" for searching
by newbiesforever from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4RPSP)
Because I abhor Google, I have tried to abjure the word "googling" to generically describe using a search engine. I have a feeling others have already thought of this--it was obvious enough--but my wandering mind produced an alternative word: duckducking. Obviously it comes from my using Duckduckgo; and "duckduckgoing" was too hopelessly awkward.
Too goofy-sounding, you say? Perhaps, but did you think it wasn't goofy to call your search engine use "googling"?
