This is quite possibly the best waste of time ever.
Do a google search for two words, not in quotation marks, and with actual defintions recognized by google.
Your goal is to find a search that returns exactly one result.
read the rules here, then go nuts:

this was a bonus mark on an university assignment on google i had to do for a class. i was the only one in my class to get a googlewhack. i have nooo clue what my word was but it was 2 words i don't even think i knew what they meant. took way more than that bonus was worth

so the idea is to attempt to google two random words that give one, and only one result?

my friends and I found this way back when it first started, so we got a whole bunch of googlewhacks between us.
now it's much harder since it's been around for years and so many have already been found.

oh. well then.
i just reread the rules and apparently they have to appear in google's dictionary, which make my two not apply. damn.

I did it!
unventuresome chuckawalla!
I don't think unventuresome is in their dictionary, but it is a real word!

none of those three actually qualify. both words have to be linked in the top right of the page (inside the blue bar). but hey, good job.
