Respected faldage, your link immediately clicks over to a different URL, on which there's no such statment that I can find.

But per your new rule, wordsmith faldage, I can offer the above emphasized phases, plus hunk faldage Elizabeth, your choice!, or a host of other adjectival combinations. C'mon, friend; let's not suck the fun out of it!

Beats me. Doesn't do it for me. The rules, from the site:

The rules of Googlewhacking' are simple. Type two words into the search field on Google and hit 'Google Search'. If the search returns with 'Results 1 - 1 of 1' then you win. If it finds more than one site on which those two words appear, you don't.

To further complicate matters, you can't use inverted commas to limit your search, as the words can appear anywhere on the site. It's not as easy as it sounds.

.

All words must appear on www.dictionary.com in order for your Googlewhacker to be valid.

I submitted a few, but no word back yet.


c-a-l-l-i-p-y-g-e-a-n _____ i-n-u-n-d-a-t-i-o-n


q-o-t-i-d-i-a-n _____ b-l-o-v-i-a-t-i-o-n


i-n-v-i-g-o-r-a-t-i-n-g _____ o-m-p-h-a-l-o-s-k-e-p-s-i-s


It might be more interesting and perhaps more in the spirit of a word game to find pairs which are either complementary or ironic.

Ooh! I finally got one of my own!

colloidal regicide

(I knew regicide had to be a golden ticket one way or t'other!)

That's fun! Now I know where all the time I'm saving from the new AWAD server will be wasted...

Later... smocking apotheosis
See, I told you!
Later still... perambulatory isthmus
*Somebody* has found a new hobby...

This is, I presume, the gentle art of killing kings on the cheap?

But of course!

You know, I'm seeing that even if the idea isn't a Google-whack winner (i.e. Budget Regicide, Corrugated Epiphany, Sophomoric Cuneiform, Flatulent Parallelogram, Trapeze Underpants), this is a fine way to come up with some really surreal band names.

bloviate timorously

escargot uvula returned 1- 1 of about 2. It only showed one result. What's that mean?

On my second try...trilobite fricasee...deliberately misspelled here (sans one "s" so as to not add a hit).

Does this mean I WIN!...?(ahem)
