Sorry to burst your bubble, but I’m afraid it doesn’t count as a Googlewhack as it breaks rule 1:
Rule Number One: Your two Googlefactors must exist in Google’s view of this dictionary. Not your view; Google’s view! Google does the work, and Google has the final word! In the blue bar atop your Google results, accepted terms are linked, and so appear ‘underlined.’ No line, no link = Googlejack! (As in, You’ve got jack, so see the FAQ 🙂
Should the Pedant General be allowed to get away with committing such faux pas? And that attempt to foist blame on Firefox for his/her incompetence – the General’s commission is running out!
It’s a daft thing to kill time while you’re waiting for something else. Type two or three words into google (e.g. ‘stencilists of frivolity’) and if you get only one hit – you’ve found a googlewhack. The point is the exclamation at finding semantically unrelated words in the same passage on only one particular site.
A couple of years ago a chap called Dave Gorman did a silly thing in emailing the people who owned the websites on which he found his googlewhacks and then travelling to actually visit said owners around the world. He was trying to visit so many of them before his 30th birthday or he risked losing a drunken bet with his friends. He turned the story into the basis for a comedy tour and book.

Even on an internet full of strangeness, that’s an odd thing to type into google.

Hey cut me some slack.
At least I’m using Firefox…
I have no idea what “Google’s view of this dictionary” means.
Surely you jest!
Perry,
I jest not! I have merely adjusted, temporarily, my correctness conditions…

The Pedant-General – Serves you right for using Firefox. Firefox buggers everything up.
Julian Morrison – That was a funny comment.
I’m a sitemeter junkie and love some of the search results hits I get (even posted some of my favorites.
‘chav stakhanovites’ is good, but does it beat ‘leaning about scabs’ or ‘michelle wie rump’?
Did anyone else try XWL’s ‘googlewhacks’ and get googlejack?!
Try ‘chav stencilists’ instead.
What the bloody hell is a Googlewhack? And why are they good/interesting/desirable?

Meanwhile, Google are prepared to cooperate with the Chinese government in offering self-censorship of blogs and so forth, whilst refusing to allow the US government access to data on user searches.
Which is bad
