Refugium ad googlium

[Dave Paprocki]

A logical fallacy wherein someone makes a factual claim (usually complete bullshit, usually prefaced with some version of some people say...) and then refuses to cite any sources to back up said claim by saying, Well if you dont believe me, you can just [Google it]. And then they turn into a complete and [total cunt] when you point out that the [burden of proof] rests with the person claiming something to be true, and that no, you are not going to just Google it.
