Your Definition
A person who answers questions from family and friends with links to other people's opinions (posting to popular platforms like twitter, reddit, facebook and email almost exclusively). Never having to have or form an opinion of their own, a dillingham is able to maintain smug self-righteousness from a safe distance by stealing someone else's ideas and mental labor. Dillingham is a mashup of dilling- and -ham, the process of screwing someone for personal benefit because it's easy, the willingness to screw anyone for personal gain no matter how gullible.
