Googlewhacking?

[Christoph]

Anybody else heard of this? The idea is to try to find two words that yield the result 1 of 1, ie there's only one combination of those two words in google's entire database.
"rosy gargler" worked without the quotes.

[flounder43]

Man, you crack me up. That is great.

[rogerdugans]

IdeaMagnate makes more sense to me all the time!:)

I'm gonna have to try that......

[flounder43]

Whack!!!!

-Edit- what it brought up was .... strange.. to say the least :eh?:

[flounder43]

Aha. It seems that a true "googlewhack" requires a search with two words and you may NOT use quotes.

Hence, mine was not a true googlewhack...

However, I have a new TRUE googlewhack: flounder overclocker

not when you use copyrighted or wierd compound words

Also, here's the reference to overclock:
Anybody see David Letterman the night he did "Top 10 Signs You Have No Life"? Number 1 on the list was "You overclock your computer."

Tsk. I'd expect more from you, nihili. :rolleyes:

P.S, quadragesimal is a cool word!

[Christoph]

Welcome to the forums!!!!!!
Remember, water and computers don't mix. If you must submerse your computer, get some 3m Flourinert, only about US$500/gallon.

BTW, eskimo pants - Results 1 - 10 of about 7,850. Search took 0.25 seconds.

If you have no clue what I'm talking about, stick around a while and it'll all start to make sense.

You can visit m-w.com if you're one of those kinds of people who don't know what a tittle is.

Edit: sorry JigPu, but that's a link to a list of words, which any purist will frown upon. I don't really care so much if other people use lists, but I find that it adds an interesting element to the game to try to avoid them.

I have no idea how i get these strings of words but it works. only took me a couple of minutes

[Gliderguy]

OK:

ozzys zogs

(I know, the purists won't like that one.)

[phungilax]

5 letters:

[Gliderguy]

I think that is my new favorite swear word


"Thilp U!"


LOL

at least according to Google it is very original...

I'd be willing to bet that there aren't any three character combinations that work. I'm hunting for 4 now.

Hahaha... ^_^; I was just so excited at finaly finding two words, I didn't even bother to check what the site was :rolleyes: . Guess it's another few days of me racking my brain for words (who needs a dictionary for weird words, or a theasarus for making their words weird :) ).

No problem there. I looked for an old thread from here with google and it didn't show up.

I don't think scientific words count when figuring out the longest word in the english language. Check out www.antidisestablishmentarianism.com

[Lee_B]

It's the longest word in the Oxford English if it won't stand I'll have to use praetertranssubtantiationalistically (longest non scientific word).

[Krusty]

Hmm...found a couple pages that mentioned that antidisestablishmentarianism was the longest word in the english language. Of course, those are just web sites, which could very likely be wrong. Oh well, at least I know mine is the most popular long word in the english language.

EDIT: do you actually own an oxford english dictionary or are you sitting in a computer at the library or something? Your word does not exist according to dictionary.com and oxford wants me to pay to check their online dictionary.

[Lee_B]

It's actually in the Guinness World Records. It was first used in a novel called Untimely Ripped in 1963. I've always liked floccinaucinihilipilification but I spent to long watching word games shows on TV when I was at school.

That was easy. Did it on my first try. Although I'm not exactly proud of this one, and couldn't explain why this one jumped into my mind. Kingslayer Masturbation. I blame this solely on IdeaMagnate as he said this was called "Google Whacking" and the whacking kind of stuck.
