Just shrug and say, "heck if I know, tell me when you find out" for the next few times they ask you. Then suggest politely that they look it up on the Web.

I'm thinking that it's just convenient for your friends to ask their walking dictionary every time they don't know something. However, they may stop doing that if you let them know (nicely) that the dictionary is missing some pages. Also, don't put pressure on yourself to answer their questions. If you don't know or aren't sure, just say so and let it drop.
