Nerd Word of the Day: Twoogle

twoooogle

Twoogle: asking your followers a question on Twitter, that could easily have been Googled instead.

Another word to go with my obsession with Twitter.

I’m certainly guilty of twoogling! Have you twoogled?

  1. I’ve got 3 books going here dear teacher. Multitask reader.

  2. I didn’t get to bid on those ebay items. Bummer. What’s HotForWords reading(?) i wanna twoogle it

  3. Sad to hear that stevie_ryan has a bias when it comes to humanity. She has more aliens on her FB friends list than humans.

    shed some more tears for the human race people!

  4. I was getting ready to twoogle something then I read what stevie_ryan said!

    No, I’m not a lesbian, at least I don’t think so, there was that time at that (unspecified date/place) which turned into a couch party scene. I will explain sometime.

    I hadn’t heared of Twoogle before, but I did hear from someone who doesn’t care for all these social networking sites the word: myface. ;-)

  6. Checking site parms* for upgrades
    *parms = parameters
    1. The Forum background and menu bars now
    match home and lesson page.
    2. Lesson pages are no longer paginated.
    3. Gravatars are smaller, again
    4. The Edit function worfs!

    It would’ve been good of you to provide an example of such a question.

    Myself, I’ve never thought of Google as a place to ask questions; more appropriate, I think, would be ‘Twask Yahoo!’ or maybe ‘Twikipedia.’

    I know people don’t confuse Twitter with MyLot, where you can get paid for asking questions!

    Twits are for the nerds…non-profit spy agency….Strata – “Cocaine (We’re All Going to Hell)”

    nerds words are for who they are…coke heads…its legal like Freud; fraud…Marina!!!…crack the [EGG]…egg-text or coked out? :lol:

    …TwITS:hang-out…limit on character :smile:

  9. niteowl says: 32

    Maybe someday I’ll send you one of these messages via twitter, but not today. (Don’t even try to get me to say the so-called word)

    You asked if we dream at all. Only of you, Marina…giving us a new word lesson, of course.

  10. Evan Owen says: 31

    “Guilty?” You missed the point of twoogling your question. Google connects us to the [übermind], but sometimes it’s fun to rub synapses with our local neurons. :grin:

    Marina,

    I think tweets and tweeteresses from twitter can be quite serious LOLZ sometimes.

    Wouldn’t ask anything to them though. Well, at least not by the way of twitter. It would feel like asking the wind to bring me some wisdom. Which would be quite foolish. That is, of course, my own personal opinion, wide and largely open, as always, to constructive criticism.

  14. cruiserct says: 25

    This probably is an April fools joke.
    Toogle: to serch on twtter for something.
    :razz:
    Have a great day

  15. leonard says: 24

    I hope for you all to have HAPPY fools dAY! :cool:

  16. Che Volay says: 23

    It happens here all the time ppl ask stuff they could easily have Googled.

    I just figured ppl a basically dumb. :shock:

  17. animalntaz says: 22

    Never twoogled….. How about Moogled? :mrgreen:

  18. i want to see your soles. WORD REQUEST [SOLES]

  19. wordlover says: 20

    Now my gravatar is back to the snow leopard! What is this madness? :???:

  20. wordlover says: 19

    Hey, our gravatars shrank! WTF? :???:

  21. Seems like Twitter is the source of all these goofy words.
    It started simple enough… Twitter begat tweet.
    .
    twoogle? two-ogle – :lol:
    (ogle, with a friend – LOL)
    .
    Marina could do a brief history video of Nerd Words
    “dot com”.. :idea:
    that have a been around longer than Twitter
    (for when they run out of good ideas) :mrgreen:

  22. bsomebody says: 17

    Sometimes I’ll ask a question here instead of googling. I’m often more interested in the commentors’ ideas than in the “accepted” commentary. :cool:

  23. I like to go to Radio Shack and sort through the mix and match industrial mo jo bulgas. For me it’s a thrill to retool- it’s like super glue, que tips, an assortment of magnifying glasses and a box of latex gloves with hours to hobby in labor intensive research.

    I TWO oogle everytime I Hot For Words

  25. leonard says: 11

    [whacked] or [wacked] or waxed on your wings :lol:

  26. mukmika. says: 10

    I Always Google. As kids, my brother and I had a lot of our own words. For instance, anything really big was ‘delojous’. Did’nt have same lingo with my four sisters. Guess this happens with a lot of siblings. What has this to do with Twoogle? Absolutely nothing! But remember, a stitch in time gathers no moss.

  27. wordlover says: 9

    And speaking of gravatars, how about gravatard for someone who uses annoying, lame, and/or poorly designed/displayed gravatars?

  28. seesixcm6 says: 8

    I put up a question on twitter, but it’s still unanswered. I don’t consider that a twoogle.
    I actually joined twitter to comment on the beautiful pictures you post, Marina. I’ve posted a few photos, but they hardly get any traffic, compared to yours.

  29. Clever. I remain a twitter virgin(watch somebody come up with a nerdword for that soon – “twirgin”?), but that is a clever one.

  30. freebird says: 6

    When someone gets mad the have a “shitfit”… maybe this word will become :idea: ”twitfit”:idea: when enough people get mad using twitter.

  31. wordlover says: 5

    BTW, how about “twittard” for someone who spends all his/her time on twitter making an ass of him-/herself? Actually, that would cover a large percentage of users, wouldn’t it? :razz: :lol: :wink:

  32. John says: 4

    Y Yes I have, [Tailmail]

  33. wordlover says: 3

    I don’t care to twoogle. I usually am the one giving answers rather than asking for them.

  34. John says: 2

    I don’t think I’ve twoogled yet, err can’t remember, I refuse to answer on the grounds it might incriminate someone, Not that I can recall!

  35. hs4mm says: 1

    This is a good word — there is a good google page for this which I need to find.
