To google became a verb even when Google discourages it:
Google has attempted to discourage use of the word as a verb, fearing the dilution and potential loss of its trademark, like Yo-Yo, Xerox and escalator (see genericized trademark).
I know you should protect your trademark but when all the people start using your name as a common word is a sign of success.
Anyway, the point here was discovering the new word of today:
wii-kend:
1. A weekend devoted exclusively towards playing a Nintendo Wii.
2. the weekend of November 19, 2006, the Nintendo Wii console’s launch date
Found via word of the day
