I got one with "oodles swamplight" but it seems to be an online version of the full text of James Joyce's Finnegan's Wake, which somehow doesn't seem fair. (Although check out all the text files in the same directory -- it's a fucking library!)

It's a forum post that has a list of unused band names, so this one almost feels like cheating.

Hurting, you touch a sore spot. Once upon a time the Ask-A-Drunkites set out to capture a menagerie of googlewhacks-to-be. IOW, word combinations that came up on Google as "no pages were found that matched your search criteria". These we posted on the old Greenspun forum by setting the words within paragraphs of rather fanciful prose. Then we sat down and waited for the googlewhackers to arrive.

Whosis, the googlewhack inventor, officially disqualified that page by reclassifying it as a "word list", claiming, for example, that a menu listing for "Carmelized Owlet Pinfeathers served on a bed of Farinaceous Glop" was utter nonsense and could not be understood as anything but a string of meaningless words. He also complained that this page had produced two dozen googlewhacks in less than a minute, as if that were a problem for him.

The man was a Philistine, apparently. No appreciation of art.

On a side note, the wordlist sites have just about crushed googlewhacking out of existance. Most contemporary whacks require the use of weird compund words, or a word stacked with allowable prefixes (un-, pre-, ante-) or suffixes (-some, -like, -ness) to create a legal, but rare, variant that the word listers forgot to include.

It's kind of like my brother playing the word "unrewaxed" in Scrabble once. We had to give it to him, the prat.

i put the number 8 inbetween so its still a whack
lol

― carmel wallis (carmel), Friday, 23 June 2006 06:56 (seventeen years ago) link

i guess, carmel that that's our way of staking our claim on the googlewhack really - saves other people thinking they're so special and also makes the game harder as you go along.

― dog latin (dog latin), Friday, 23 June 2006 07:09 (seventeen years ago) link

This is a lot harder than it used to be. According to an old list of these I kept, ECUMENICALLY MASOCHISTIC was a valid googlewhack in 2002. Now: 859 hits.

Even QUERULOUS ZAMBONI gets 110 nowadays. And CHIMICHANGA DUCHY gets 86. And KWAKIUTL NECROPSIES gets 27.

carmel wallis, you need to understand that any and every googlewhack is a mayfly, the creature of a day, an ephemeris that dies upon the morrow. The world and the web move on and so should you.

googlewhacking was fun while it lasted, but I am certain it has now reached the stage of quasi-impossibility.
