Investibation<\/strong>: \/in-vest-a-bat-ion<\/em>\/ No satisfied to simply investibate by themselves at home behind a computer, numerous celebrities have asked NBC to lend a helping hand. In a strange kind of reverse prostitution, NBC is paying the likes of Sarah Jessica Parker, Susan Sarandon and Lisa Kudrow for the rights to compile genealogical history on their families. These histories are then recounted for the celebrities and anybody with a TV antenna. The show, called “Who Do You Think You Are” is Kimberly’s favorite. Etymology:<\/em> investigation + (something else) Created by:<\/em> thegoatisbad.<\/p>\n

Mevestigate<\/strong>: \/mee ves tig ayt<\/em>\/ Hamela Hamderson, the cheeky Hamster would mevestigate herself on the Internet everyday. She was always finding news items, pictures and embarrassing Youtube submissions about her latest capers. It was surprising, as she was normally a humble hamster. It was also surprising that a rodent could read, write and use the Internet better than most humans. Etymology:<\/em> Me (first person singular;myself) & Investigate (conduct an inquiry or investigation of;seek information about) Created by:<\/em> Nosila.<\/p>\n

Googification<\/strong>: \/go\u00c5\u008dg\u00c9\u2122fik\u00c4\u0081sh\u00c9\u2122n<\/em>\/ in the ultimate act of googification, Joe had t-shirts made up that consisted of the results his self-googling. He perhaps could have been more proud if there was more on the web about him than his arrest record. Etymology:<\/em> google (a popular search engine) + gratification (pleasure or satisfaction) Created by:<\/em> artr.<\/p>\n

Egoogletistic<\/strong>: \/ee-goog-le-tis-tick<\/em>\/ Les was so egoogletistic that he could spend hours checking to see if his information or webstats had changed since the last time he googled himself. Etymology:<\/em> eogtistic: excessive self-centeredness; to think, speak or write of oneself excessively + google: search engine + statistic: information, data Created by:<\/em> mrskellyscl.<\/p>\n
