(Game) Can you get a Googlewhack?

SirFozzie · 03-15-2005, 04:16 PM

Just deciding while bored at work to do a new game, the infamous sport of Googlewhacking.

I post a word. The next person to post also posts a word, and googles for the two words.. and posts how many matches we find. These must be true words, and not proper names. Then the next person posts another word, and googles for his word plus the last poster's word.

We're trying for a GoogleWhack where ONE match is reported.

So in an example.

I post Ambidextrous.
Person B posts weasel and googles for Ambidextrous Weasel (no quotes) (Total 615 Matches)
Person C takes the word weasel and adds timorous (googles for timorous weasel... finds ugh.. 1990 matches. I hate spammers)
Person D adds the word malodorous (malodorous timorous), gets 491 matches.

basically, the person at the end of the day whose googling resulted in the fewest results wins the day. A googlewhack (where one match is reported) automatically wins. However, if due to two rare words interact and don't make any matches, then the entry doesn't count.

CHECK your spelling

I'll start.

Word 1: Receiver

Huckleberry · 03-15-2005, 04:21 PM

googolplex

googolplex receiver = 262

QuikSand · 03-15-2005, 04:22 PM

I will add echidna.

I get 38 hits.

next...

JPhillips · 03-15-2005, 04:23 PM

I add receptacle.

129 hits.

QuikSand · 03-15-2005, 04:23 PM

(In all honesty, Huck beat me to the punch... but his word with mine dropped my number of hits from 879 to 38)

flere-imsaho · 03-15-2005, 04:25 PM

googolplex echidna comes up with 79 hits, Quiksand.

Airhog · 03-15-2005, 04:26 PM

Unfortunately you spelled octagenerian wrong

it's octogenarian

Airhog · 03-15-2005, 04:30 PM

You know, with the F'n timestamp bug, this game is going to be extremely difficult to play.

SirFozzie · 03-15-2005, 04:31 PM

but podunk octogenarian = "about 20"

mhass · 03-15-2005, 04:31 PM

That's because you spelled it wrong. It's "octo".

JPhillips · 03-15-2005, 04:32 PM

DAMN!

Well podunk octogenerian is 20 hits.

QuikSand · 03-15-2005, 04:35 PM

This makes a big difference, as we are finding out.

Also - the timestamp bug is a bane to this sort of thing.

That may be the case, but it doesn't prevent you from going to the nearest establisment that serves alcoholic beverages and picking up women by telling them "Me and BigJohn&TheLions whacked google together with 'postherpetic turgid!' Wanna fuck?"
