From the infamous occupation of Area 51 to "OK,Watch Educating Elainia (2006) Boomer," there was a lot to Google in 2019.
There are a lot of great tidbits buried in Google's annual Year In Search report — sorry, Baby Shark, but Baby Yoda was the most popular baby on the internet in 2019 — but the "What is...?" section is, as always, fascinating. Here are what people were curious about in the United States.

What is a VSCO girl?
What is momo?
What is a boomer?
What is quid pro quo?
What is camp fashion?
What is Disney Plus?
What is Bird Box about?
What is a Mandalorian?
What is Brexit?
Most of these were the online trends that defined 2019, so it's easy to imagine clueless web surfers searching for the terms and being either delighted or horrified at the results. Face it, once you find out what "momo" actually is, you'll never forget it.
