The word "Google" is becoming a popular term to refer to "searching the internet using the Google search engine".
Similarly, we can use the term "noodled" to refer to things we look up in our noodle (as mentioned in a recent Get Fuzzy comic).
But what do we do when we look up something on Wikipedia? There's no magical verb to describe that, is there? And we can't just use the word "wiki" since that describes wikis in general, and not specifically the online encyclopedia named Wikipedia. As a verb, "to wiki" already has a meaning, usually referring to reading or editing a wiki -- any wiki.
I came up with a solution to this problem. And so, I bring you the new verb wikipoodle.
