what if I am old, though?

I'm certainly old, but I've been trying for a year or 2 to stop using giant corporation names as verbs. "Google it" became "look it up" or "research it".

I'll have to Yahoo Search it, but I doubt it will know. Guess I'll have to Archie it.
(I do not recall archie (or any of the others) being used as verbs, though).

Saying “just Startpage it” just doesn’t sound the same

I say, "I need to outsource my intelligence" or a variation thereof.
If you know where that's from, good for you.
