For those who read the works of Dave Gorman, this will be plainly obvious, for those who don't, you will probably be confused.
A googlewhack is two words typed into www.google.com, which find only one result.
However, there are 3 conditions.
1) The words must both be found in www.Dictionary.com (if you look to the right, the words will either be underlined, or not. If they are, it means they are in the dictionary, if not...they're not)
2) They cannot be on a website which is just a list of words.
And finally
3) The words cannot be in inverted commas, as this narrows the search too much.
Oh, I found one a little earlier, Workaround Drongos
Go on, find your own.

A DG fan here<<< ive read both the books. Googlewhack and Are you Dave Gorman, got them signed by him at 1 of his shows not long ago. He gets up to some mad stuff, am gonna try and get tics for when he records the dvd version or Googlewhack but dont know where it is atm.
Armband Crocodilians
used to be 1 but more pages have been made about it...
but alas all is not lost ... Subserous Elephants! but that isn't one cos its a word list site... my bad
And did u know that rarebit nutters isnt an actual googlewhack... nutters isnt in Dictionary.com althought he found out about this after he finished the book...
Like he said if uve not read the book u wont know about the rarebit nutters thing

Thats cool. The words already found won't give only one result anymore, being listed at several places :).
-
nah, this forum and the website have been disabled from searching, as is the official googlewhack site. so they can't be found ne more
-
Well, if I search for ambidextrous scallywags listed on www.googlewhacks.com, I get www.googlewhacks.com as the top result.
-
ok... that never used to happen, i suppose once it goes off that page and into the archives it works, cos i registered the first 2 that i found, and they stayed as 1, untill another page was made about them. But that could have been my browser cacheing the search pages.
-
There are pages about them, I found a page that has all the googlewhacks, and some interview with DG himself had a couple in it.

This is harder than I thought!
Even the longest words in the dictionary like antidisestablishmentarianism pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis
get 600 results. Then again, probably because they are the longest.
Anyone wanna post some examples?
