It's at this point that the person you’re arguing with goes suddenly and terribly quiet.
Why?
Because they’re Googling the topic you’re arguing. A Google Silence is followed by two possible outcomes.
“Ha! I OWN you, punk!”
Or
“This is a stupid argument anyway and I think we should move on.”

Obviously, Mister McNabb himself would never go suddenly and terribly quiet.
But seriously though, I have discovered this phenomenon as well, although I named it the 'Wiki minute'.
It is as tempting as it is shocking to rely this much on instant - but mostly unvetted and unreliable - information from the web.
Regarding your first comment, ya Nick, whatever the result from da web, I would try out "Ha, I OWN you, punk!" just to see if I get away with it....
To use quotes from wiki and google while debating is mediocre and cheap.
Usually, the exact opposite happen with me; my debate quotes would end up in wiki and google.
hehe - i like the term. I'm going to use it more often.
haha that conversation definitely sounds familiar...
