There are so many search engines out there and even chat bots to get info from. I refuse to let Google monopolize an action.

For a couple of years I tried to say "look it up" instead, but now I've accepted my defeat and I say "that's interesting, let me google it" as I type the query into DDG

literally though. I think if Google ever dies, this will be one of those words that just sucks around.
