~10 years ago I would say “google it” often. But now I don’t think I say that at all, and would say “search for it” or similar.

I don’t think I really consciously decided to stop saying it, but I suppose it just felt weird to explicitly refer to one search engine while using another.

Just me? Do you say, or hear others say, “google it” in $current_year? Is it different for techies and normies?

    I say “look it up” but my housemate for instance has passive-aggressively told someone today that he found the answer to their question after 15 seconds of googling. I’ve heard “googlen” in Dutch but I say “opzoeken”. I’m very much no friend of Google though.
