       What's your favorite way to verb DuckDuckGo :duckduckgo: ?Options that occur to me:  - "I DuckDuckGo'ed that"  - "I DuckDuckWent that"  - "I googled that" (meaning used DuckDuckGo, which annoys Google for trademark reasons https://www.michaelbest.com/Newsroom/137910/Widespread-Use-of-GOOGLE-Trademark-asnbspa-Verb-Does-Not-Render-the-Mark-Generic)  - Get brands out of the conversation entirely ("I searched for {X} on the Internet")

       @codesections This entire thread now makes me want to confuse the shit out of people when I tell them that I:- Duck-searched it. - Quacked it up. - Ducked it. - Put some feathers on it. - Web-foot walked that shit. - TCPed with DDG on the  443. Just so they ask for clarification and fall into my trap where I explain how terrible google is and suggest alternatives :)

       @codesections I usually keep brands out of it - Google and DuckDuckGo aren't the only search engines, and there aren't many contexts where I think people need to know which search engine I use - though I do sometimes tease friends with "I don't use Google" when they tell me to Google something.

       @codesections searched it on #DuckDuckGo, I think it's how I usually say it, or just searched it

       @codesections "Duck it". Sounds obscene, fewest syllables.
