Friday Humor: Fun with Googlisms

Well, since I expended my brain power last Friday doing literary parodies, this week I'm counting on Googlism to provide the humor. Googlism is a site that uses google (shocker) to tell you what google thinks about the word you type in. Hmm, that doesn't make much sense. Try it yourself but be warned it's a bit plagued with ads. All the following googlisms are taken verbatim from the page. You can verify them yourself.

Anyway, I started of with "aggro" of course.

aggro is a very difficult thing to manage

Tell me about it...

aggro is ruining people's lives

Well, that's a little extreme.

aggro is a young man's game

Time to get out of the aggro game already?

aggro is not considered intentional

That's what I always say.

aggro is all very well when you put your bat where your mouth is

I'll put my ice comet where my mouth is.

Next up was "everquest."

everquest is a huge and amazing world that will capture you with its depth and beautiful images

From the positive...

everquest is the worst game ever created

To the negative.

everquest is not just a game its a way of life

For some of us.

everquest is a video game that is so seductive that ben stein claims it almost destroyed the life of

I actually researched this one because I was curious. Apparently Ben had problems with his son playing too much EQ. He lost me when he said that his son had gotten too "self-referential." Um, okay.

everquest is not uo aside form the obvious differences which i will not list here

I finally understand Everquest.

everquest is the most absorbent game which i ever saw

Better than a paper towel!

Hmm, let me try "Smed."

smed is sexy

Damn it Smed, how much did you pay googlism to get that to number one!

smed is beautifully crafted

Sigh, googlism loves Smed.

smed is illegally parked

Don't you have your own spot?

smed is simply an acronym for single

Now that's kind of harsh.

Maybe I'd have more success with "Smedley."

smedley is also a registered nurse who worked in the home health field of nursing

A man of many talents!

smedley is all too real

Heh.

smedley is entitled to the benefit of that doubt

Sigh, I guess you're right googlism.

smedley is six inches

No comment.

Let's give "uber" a shot.

uber is a versatile word

So true.

uber is german isn't it?

You're supposed to have the answers, googlism!

uber is when the druids in your guild are wearing grey suede boots

Finally, googlism is making sense.

uber is going to that website

Hope it's talking about Aggro Me.

How about our fair queen, "Antonia?"

antonia is an average looking woman for her age

Some might disagree.

antonia is a very athletic person having attained certificates in basketball and high jump

Well, she does seem athletic.

antonia is suffering from severe malnutrition

Sigh, what people do to stay skinny.

Let's try the word "blog."

blog is mantasmic

Umm, okay.

blog is so boring

Hey, I try!

blog is the best thing ever

Now you're talking!

Feel free to try some googlisms yourself and post the results in the comments section.

I'd also like to point you to the great MMO-style horoscopes by Van Hemlock. They are very funny and something I wish I had thought of myself. A sample:

"SCORPIO Oct 23 - Nov 20 A good week for new encounters and a pick-up group may end up giving you a lot more than you bargained for. Generosity with loot rolls will be repaid a hundredfold. Characters with misspelled Anime names will be lucky for you."

Head on over and check out the rest yourself.
