I heard of this term on a British show. I had never heard of it before then. What about you? For those not familiar: “A googlewhack occurs when you find a combination of two words that only exist on one page in all of googledom. These two words must be English words (for English googlewhacking) that appear in dictionary.com. There is just a single Google indexed page that contains both the words 'Kumquat' and 'Pentode.”
Honestly, I still cannot understand it lol

That's confusing. British humor?

British humor takes some getting used to if you were not born there.
And I have heard the term before.

Soooo, it's just British people being amused of a single result google search? Am I understanding that right, as it just seems silly itself lol.

Ah yes, I've seen Dave Gorman's Googlewhack Adventure, and it was quite enjoyable - even if it does look dated now . I did try Googlewhacking a few years ago, and I found that "dendrochronologist necrocracy" returned only one search result. However, when I put those same two words into Google now, I get over 50,000 search results!!!

It's easy, just plug two words into google and hit search. If you only get one search result, that's a googlewhack.

lammchen, Steve, demonskeith, kyng, lainee, Thank you for your replies! It seems some have heard of it but the majority of us have not. I tried putting in two words. I just didn't see the joy of it lol Maybe it's different now & maybe Google has different results in different countries?
