It's claimed the day after the Brexit vote, Brits were Googling things like "what is the European Union".

LOL!

(Happens to be one of my favorite things when people start yammering about the hopeless idiocy of the American electorate to provide evidence that a lot of electorates are equally stoopid (sic.). Makes me want to drag out the canard from a famous Brit; democracy is the worst form of Government except all those other forms that have been tried from time to time.)

Too little too late. It's claimed the day after the Brexit vote, Brits were Googling things like "what is the European Union".

Like much of our "data", we don't have data to back it up, just an anecdote with supposedly some dataish substantiation. Just trust The Google, all ur data r belong to us (or as our acronym alphabet-soup orgs tell us, US).

Is "impugn" trending with 14 lookups or 14 million? And should we happy or appalled by the supposed # of people looking this up? Is there any to get people to look up "reptard" instead, or "shyster" and "snake oil salesman" if a bit more traditional?
