A new word needed

So, I use Ask.com to search on the web. Mostly becasue I like chimpanzees and they use them in their ads. no real other reason. But, when I "Google" something, everyone knows what I'm talking about. But if I "Ask" something, it is already a verb and doesn't get the point across.

We need a new verb, one that is apparently a verbization of a nounified verb. I was going to use "Askify" but that has already been used by some wargamers and comes up when you "Ask" it. That won't work for this experiment, so I am proposing this as the Verbization:

Askate.

I will askate that for you. In fact when I askated it just now, there were no hits, except for asking me if I really meant "skate."

Now, we all use it a bit and see how quickly this meme infects the rest of society.

pshrynks have strange and evil minds, sometimes.
