Please make no mistake, Googlewhack or simply GW is no cousin of google. This is a new website, which has been the sensation among the internet fraternity.
This is googlewhack. So what’s so wacky about googlewhack? Let’s find out. Do you know what ‘ambidextrous scallywags’ means? Googlewhack defines them as ‘Enron corporate officers who contributed money to senators on both the left and the right. Or, for that matter, how does Enron’s press office describe an investment advisor who changed his recommendation from ‘Buy’ to ‘Sell’? That’s what Google whackers would call a ‘disenthralled nimrod’. What are we talking about? Okay, let me put all of this into perspective. Googlewhacking is about having fun with words using the search feature of our own old friend https://google.com. It started off when a certain Gary Stock came up with an ingenious idea. Type two legitimate words into Google’s search window. Legitimacy is simply defined by the presence or absence of that word in https://dictionary.com. Now if the two words in the window return exactly one result on the search engine, it qualifies for googlewhack. You can then go on to define what those words mean, like the two examples mentioned above, and post it on the googlewhack website. It is reviewed by the googlewhack team (similar to our MS team) which maintains the website and, if it meets their standards, is published for the world at large to see and profit from.
News has spread like wild fire and caught the imagination of Net freaks. At last count, the whackstore, as they now call it, had over 45, 000 phrases in it. Atrociously funny and extremely addictive, they are a must-read for anyone with even a remote sense of humour. However googlewhack does not index the whacks and lists the most recent first.
