Twench's Technical Jargon Explained
Welcome to the 2nd edition Twench's Technical Jargon Explained (See 2/21 post for first edition). In this week's segment, I will explain to you, my faithful reader a new sport sweeping the geek nation by storm. The game is called "Google Whacking". No, this isn't a dirty game, get your mind out of the gutter. How do you play "Google Whack"? Well, it's quite simple. You create a 2 word google query that is so obscure, google can only return 1 hit. Now, the 2 words must be real words and cannot be contained inside quotes (inside quotes, the words are treated as a phrase rather than 2 distinct words). Here are some examples of google whacks:
diction hodgepodges
slurring unicyclist
onomatopoeic crabapples
These are just a sample of the thousands of google-whacks already discovered. If you want to find out more google-whacks, go to http://www.googlewhack.com. One side note to all this fun, it is interesting to note that once you have found a google whack, it is important to list it on the Googlewhack website so that it is no longer a google whack. I myself may have just ruined 3 perfectly good google whacks by posting the links above.
Until next time, this has been Twench's Technical Jargon Explained.
