Quiz: Most Common Word on the Web

[Robb]

Guess, without googling, the most common word on the WWW -- this means the most common word, and no, ".html" is not a word.

Answer will come later this evening!

1. So, it's not 'underage' then?

That's a shocker.

[Robb]

3. Interestingly

...neither is it "sex" (#186) or "mp3" (#874)....

[Ratty]

2. Knowing the web as I do ...

I vote for 'home'. I guessed this before I opened the thread and was surprised to see it on the list.

So what's the answer?

[Nailzberg]

4. I figured it was either horny, teen, or slut

Oh wait, that's my most common Google search, nevermind.



(I'm freaking kidding, btw.)

5. Horny and slut don't make the top 1,000

...but "teen" is #444.

[Robb]

6. The Answer:

It's "index", barely edging out "home", which was an excellent guess. :)

[kixot]

7. as in index.html?

Or home.html. I wonder how high up default.asp is.

[ProudGerman]

8. What about non-words

How common is the word "teh"?

9. LOL... "anal" outranks "kids" on the internet.

So does "sex" (186) and "fucking" (871)

Tells you something, doesn't it?

That brainshrub is one sick little monkey! ;)
