Actually, according to the Oxford English Dictionary (which you can access through the Olson Library page), Google is a verb meaning "To use the Google search engine to find information on the internet." So there.

The site also says that it is only a "draft entry." So until I see it in a print edition of the OED, it is only a "possible entry" as far as I'm concerned.
Besides, Joe, since when do you read anything?

Didn't you once say yourself that the OED hasn't even been updated since the mid-1980's?

How many words than are still stripped of novelty paychecks because of their "lack" of entry in the OED? Have you thought about their families? They need to eat too, you know!

(you down with OED!? yeah, you know me! you down with OED! yeah, you know me!)
