n. Abbrev: Google Is Your Friend. For about a decade Google became synonymous
with web search and this phrase was commonly used to direct people with a
question to Google's site. That was a much more innocent time. These days
Google is no longer likely to be associated with friendliness, especially by
hackers. See also STFW.
