[Please, gang, please do not respond to this post by telling me that I have too much free time on my hands. I actually have very little free time, and the interlude I'm about to describe took less than fifteen minutes.]
I wanted to Google the name of our President yesterday (I've forgotten why). Here's what happens when you get old: as I was typing "George W. … ," I was simultaneously thinking, "What a moron!" At the exact moment that I clicked the GOOGLE SEARCH button, I realized that I had unwittingly typed, "George W. Moron" into the text box. I felt stupid for a moment—until Google returned with over two thousand links to websites containing the text "George W. Moron."
Imagine my surprise and delight! (Well, I guess I wasn't all that surprised … but imagine my delight!) You can guess what happened next. I tried searching for a few more epithets that came to mind. Following are the results of my brief session of Dubyoogling.
(Continued below the fold)
(Note: The counts shown are the approximate total links found for each search, as calculated by Google. When Google finds duplicate text on multiple websites, it often omits the duplicates. To see the entire list for a given search, go to the bottom of the last page of results and click on the link that says, "repeat the search with the omitted results included.")
(WARNING: Some of the Google results appear to contain links to porn sites and other non-work-safe stuff. So, once you're on a results page,be careful where you click!)George W. Moron 2,340 links George W. Idiot 1,068 links George W. Ass 1,050 links George W. Fool 1,010 links George W. Monkey 918 links George W. Evil 845 links George W. Bitch 542 links George W. Chimp 325 links George W. Satan 220 links George W. Ape 175 links George W. Dumbass 126 links George W. Stupid 122 links George W. Liar 89 links George W. Shit 83 links George W. Jackass 73 links George W. Tush 67 links George W. Asshole 49 links George W. Clown 46 links George W. Chimpanzee 39 links George W. Dickhead 28 links George W. Bastard 23 links George W. Fuckup 22 links George W. Redneck 22 links George W. Fuckhead 22 links George W. Prick 17 links George W. Bonehead 16 links George W. Butthead 15 links George W. Shithead 8 links George W. Imbecile 6 links George W. Jerk 3 links George W. Turd 1 link
Qualifications and disclaimers:
The counts are subject to change, of course, as things are added to or removed from the Internet. (For example, in the amount of time I've spent composing this post, the count for "George W. Idiot" has increased from 1068 to 1070.)
Some names had to be disqualified, because they turned out to be the names of actual people (e.g., George W. Dick, George W. Jester).
The numbers should be adjusted downward by one or two percent, due to
(1) links to porn sites
(2) the context of the text. Google doesn't discriminate based on syntax or punctuation. For example, the text "George W. Asshole" could appear in the list where a Bush supporter was addressing a Bush critic, as in, "I voted for George W., asshole!!" Google also includes possessives in the lists; for example, "George W. Ass" is not distinct from "George W.'s ass," as in, "Tony Blair has his head up George W.'s ass."
Feel free to post your own Dubyoogling results in comments.
[That's all, folks]
