How about "googed"? This is the equivalent of being egged, although
not egged-on. (For non-Aussies: a goog is a hen's egg, and making a
goog of yourself is acting like a nitwit. Pity nobody outside Oz
would have a chance of understanding it.)
Oh, and it doesn't rhyme with "google" or "goo" but with "good".
