My friend said "I googled it on duck duck go"

Me: Dude what?

He is actually correct.
Googling means searching on the internet. Not searching on Google.
This is so in Dutch and English.

!g

he just duck duck went it

Google has become synonymous with what they do best, just like Xerox, Post-it and other products that have become verbs/nouns.

he just ducked

You quacked it mother ducker

Well technically duck duck go just shows non-personalized google results. So "googling in duck duck go" is technically correct.

Users should be able to add tags to rants. I'd add the #backfired tag to this one.

When the language gets ahead of the technology.

@linuswillner Welcome to devRant!

Sorry guys I don't have any duckified statement to add here.

🦆🦆🦆Duck out..

You cant duck you ignorant fucks its called quaking@Santaclauze

@TheCommoner282 i honestly prefer just using "searching" instead. if u used those and really become a thing, what im afraid will happen is all the "edgy" kids starting to use it without knowing the history of it, or worst, they will show it off and call others who dont use ddg as stupid or whatever, they dont even know the difference between google & ddg.

@TheCommoner282 nice to see that it's catching on ;)

He quacked it

@sigfried Oh how much I hate those terms.

Same as apping, I fucking refuse to use that word as it derives from WhatsApp 😡

At least he is using duck duck go.. lol

@linuxxx First time I actually see this term. Seems awful.

@Emphiliis It's the fucking default for messaging in general in the Netherlands 😡

He used duck duck go to search google, and then googled the thing

Googling has became a work in the dictionary, meaning search on the internet... So yep, Its a word...
Feel lucky for not saying I facebooked X, meaning I befriended X ...

Hold on a second here...

@arquien I am forever using the term “duck duck went it”

At least they used Duck Duck Go

"I googled it" vs "I duck duck goed it"

...I'll stick with the former.
