student (sheepishly): “wikipedia”
teacher: …
student (in quick self-defense): “wikifail!”
“wikifail” verb, n. {wik-e-fæl} is the frequent and most likely outcome of the user-administrated, popular online encyclopedia wikipedia. users create a “wikifail” when they post information that is knowingly or unknowingly incorrect at the point of submission, generating mostly light-hearted responses of irritation and, in some extreme cases, anger. anyone using the term “wikifail” is most likely playing world of warcraft, and feels he/she cannot be bothered correcting the mistake(s) that have led to their frustration.
