Microhoo

Where it comes from

Blend of Microsoft + Yahoo!

proper noun

dated, humorous The company that would result from the acquisition of Yahoo! by Microsoft (the potential result of a merger proposed in the mid-2000s). If it manages to win over Yahoo, the combined entity (already dubbed Microhoo on the Net) would be another behemoth, not only controlling e-mail and instant messenger (over 90 per cent share), but also standing significantly taller in the fight against Google.
