Any evidence of widespread use? - TheDaveRoss 14:33, 1 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

Yes, easily citable through Usenet. Probably not as widespread in use as some of these others, but very easy to search for since it's not a word (unlike shrub) and the meaning is clear in every context. I'd say, though, that like all these others, it's used as an insult, and so we should change the definition to make that clear. A supporter of Al Gore would not be likely to call him "the Goracle" (or just Goracle) since that's just not how distortions of people's names tend to be received, at least in US politics.
