Don't type it here. The moment you type it in bay12 it will appear on google, thus making it 2 results.

The world may never know.

I have learned from experience.

You could post a corruption of the word.  After all, 4pp13 pi3 i5 d31ici0u5.

Not quite a real word, but its pronounceable.

A link to an image should be safe.
Was looking for a good name for a character, decided to google it to see if anyone else had used it... and I guess not.

Edit: So... google puts your gmail address next to your search. That's gone now.

Making up words seems like cheating.  I mean, I could just write erandoshot here and have this as the sole hit for that "word" soon.

I think Googlebombing usually involves 2 words.

Suppose so. Still, randomly searching around and getting a single result on something is kinda cool.

And yeah; I don't expect it to last long.

Google bombing is making your item show up high on the search list. Googlewacks are the two word things.

And yeah. Made up word? How dare you?

16,300,000 results.

That's how many Karne has. A word I made up (although I found out later I may have accidentally been influenced by Baldurs Gate, and by influenced I mean I ripped it directly off)

Karnewarrior has 13,600 results. Way more than it should be. I'm going to see what's embedded deep in the search pool.

Then it happened. Then I cringed. Then I picked it up and beat him to death with it, and then his buddies, too.

There's a strange bliss I feel when I google for a pronounceable word and find zero results, or a few irrelevent results.

Ha! I managed to do it:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Wait... both of our search results came from the same site: trip-table.com. What the hell? Is someone putting up a list of every possible configuration of characters just to annoy people? :S
