Dale:

You are quick to point out how many ghits there are for your pet word of the minute. Didst ever occur to you to look at the listings to find out WHY there are so many hits?

Had you done so in this case you would have discovered that bardcore is only used in its original meaning in the first two or three listings. All of the rest are adult sites which have all different manner of spellings of things like porn (pron, ponr, pnor, etc) and hardcore (hadrcore, hordcare, bardcare, dardcare, fardcare, etc.) so that the illiterates who are out there looking to waste their money on sexual images can find something when they inevitably misspell what they are looking for.

I have seen this myopia before in your questions about words; you frequently point out that such and such has 28K Ghits or 40K Ghits and wonder whether it's a real word. Please, in the future, try taking a look for yourself rather than just asking us to do your darned research for you.

It is, frankly, getting a tad tiresome.
