backseat browser
While this has about a thousand hits on google, a lot of them seem to be nicknames. Doesn't seem to be documented in a "durable" way. —  [Ric Laurent] — 22:32, 13 September 2011 (UTC)

it's in merriam webster dudeGtroy 22:34, 13 September 2011 (UTC)


 * You sure about that? This just gives me:
 * The word you've entered isn't in the dictionary. Click on a spelling suggestion below or try again using the search bar above.
 * That seems to suggest that it's not in MW (at least, not in the online version). -- Eiríkr Útlendi | Tala við mig 22:37, 13 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Damn, you beat me to it lol —  [Ric Laurent] — 22:41, 13 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Nothing with this meaning in Google book search. (I was just going to delete it) SemperBlotto 07:27, 14 September 2011 (UTC)


 * I am really not being disingenuous here, maybe you could try harder, it's in the new words section here.Gtroy 08:36, 14 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes, and it's been there for 10 days, submitted by a user without any evidence of it being accepted officially. Hardly evidence of long-term usage, which is what we require to pass here.--Dmol 10:07, 14 September 2011 (UTC)


 * It is in a major dictionary and that is not enough? I doubt they accept words made up ten days ago. But here is a use from 2007.hereGtroy 10:51, 14 September 2011 (UTC)
 * No. If you put that search in quotes, you will only get a single hit, and that is capitalized (as a commercial product). SemperBlotto 12:13, 14 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Being in a "suggested new word" website is not the same as being "in the dictionary". Wiktionary has a  List of protologisms.  Your link does not show a usage of the term, but a mention of "Backseat Browser".    D b f  i  r  s   12:08, 14 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Quoting Gtroy "It is in a major dictionary and that is not enough?" No it's not. More than that, it's irrelevant. --Mglovesfun (talk) 21:43, 14 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Though if it were an entry in a major dictionary (which it isn't), there would be a good reason to investigate to see whether the dictionary had made a mistake.  D b f  i  r  s   09:49, 16 September 2011 (UTC)
