Well I stumbled onto the site by accident, although, if I’m not mistaken, I had heard of it before by Invidious Courgette…
Googlewhacking is the art of finding two words that only bring up one result page (said page not being a word list or dictionary or anything) and the word being a real word. Easier said than done.
But I found one:
pheromonal anthropomorphization
Except now it will be two because I listed at http://www.googlewhack.com.
Anyone else able to come up with one?

Fixed your link for [Googlewhack.com](http://www.googlewhack.com/).

I just found one too: “angiographic epitrochoid”. Unfortunately, the mouse slipped when I was clicking on the field to enter my location and I submitted by mistake. Craptacular. Well, at least I’m in. 😃

Color me stumped; mine is no longer coming up in _any_ searches.
Wonder where it went?

Never mind; I forgot I had SafeSearch on at work. Although why SafeSearch would block out a RPG Spell index is beyond me. Unless it’s seeing it as occultish or something?

Dang. When I first saw that site last year (and no, that’s _not_ supposed to sound as “I’m cooler than you!” as it does), I came up with one right off the bat: _chlamydia slowpoke_. But it no longer qualifies; there are now like two pages of results.
Stupid blogs!

Do I need one of these? How much should I pay?
Crap. Never mind. eBay doesn’t have it. Oh well. Sounded too good to be true anyway.

I found one - erythrocyte tortellini - that only gives one hit on Google, but when I try it on the Googlewhack page, it says it finds two. What gives?

You realize you likely have CoolWebSearch spyware on your system if you’re getting those results, right?

Ah, see, when I used Google, that first one, the random word list, wasn’t there, just the second one from the CDC. Odd.

**Cinnamon Girl** , as the aforementioned panopticons (-ca?) are on backorder, may I offer you some _callipygous pachyderms_?

I’d just like to point out that Google doesn’t index Googlewhack, so registering shouldn’t invalidate your 'whack. Handy, no?
