googlewhack

howlettman I love Googlewhack's, not a lot around today I don't think. One of my favourites is Anxiousness Scheduler. Feb 16, 2012

howlettman I love a good Googlewhack. Feb 16, 2012

Prolagus Now it finds Wordnik too. Nov 14, 2009

whichbe Mollusque: I have a hunch that within a week or so this will change. All that new data takes time for the google spiders... Nov 14, 2009

mollusque Google doesn't seem to index Wordnik very often. A search for "gubernatoric hubris" (see below) finds Wordie but not Wordnik. Nov 14, 2009

qroqqa martingalle clluestick: is a googlewhack if you correctly spell each with only one L (and use + to insist on one word). It shows up on sionnach's Words, coincidentally, as indeed does 'googlewhack'. In fact I was genuinely googling for the combination, having read about CPDOs, a kind of martingalle of financial 'securities' (what quaint terminology they have), which would naturally cause a rational person to reach for the No. 3 Clluestick.

mollusque Confelicitous wordies. Jun 12, 2008

reesetee Geez, whichbe. I never...uh...thought about Wordie that way....

*mumbling to self* Jun 10, 2008

mollusque Oops, you mentioned it again, John. Now it gets two g-hits. Jun 10, 2008

whichbe Wordie can be seen as a massive, 'key words' clusterfucky nerdgasm. Jun 10, 2008

john Dang, Google is fast. I searched for "gubernatoric hubris" 20 minutes ago, and nothing. Now it's a googlewhack.

Well done, mollusque! Jun 10, 2008

mollusque Considering how often Wordie is indexed by Google, it should be easy to create googlewhacks here. Just post as a comment a pair of words that gets no hits in Google. Here's one: "gubernatoric hubris". Jun 10, 2008

sionnach Sadly, the very essence of a true googlewhack is its evanescence.

Sopalali syllabub returns only one hit, but doesn't strictly count because 'sopalali' isn't a google dictionary word. Jun 9, 2008

bluetangle Long, long ago a friend found a googlewhack that worked. It no longer does. Interpolation rimjob. Jun 9, 2008

cschx That's the Heisenwhack principle at work. Jul 10, 2007

spicolli I first heard this word in an interview with Dave Gorman on the BBC. He traveled the world looking for other googlewhackers and wrote a book about it. Apr 15, 2007

abraxaszugzwang googlewhackery. Highlight that shit. Mar 6, 2007

sionnach If you post your googlewhacks almost anywhere, you run the risk of compromising their googlewhackery (almost by definition, no?) Mar 6, 2007

reesetee True, AZ! I've discovered that too. We've become googlisites (subjects of search results found on Google). Go on...try Googling one of your Wordie lists. *sigh* Mar 5, 2007

chained_bear Well, DAMMIT, we can't have nice things!! Mar 5, 2007

abraxaszugzwang re-reading it, it does have a faintly surreal quality. What's weirder is that, when you type "mepose balki" into google, it doesn't always give you the same "Did you mean:"

I've also discovered that if you post your googlewhacks here, they're googlewhacks no longer. Mar 5, 2007

sionnach AZ: your last post has a faintly surreal quality about it. I think it would be many reincarnations hence before I would be moved to type "mepose balkie" into a google search. Feb 26, 2007

abraxaszugzwang When you type "mepose balkie" into google, it says "Did you mean: jepose balki" When you click on that, it's a googlewhack! Feb 20, 2007

sionnach It's almost impossible to get a googlewhack that qualifies any more, because of the proliferation of sites which just contain wordlists. about a year ago I had good success with combinations involving one or other of the words syllabub or chupacabra Feb 15, 2007

abraxaszugzwang post your whacks or inspired combos! snooker bunlap got 4. Feb 15, 2007
