DI shows up in Firefox/Google suggestions

[rollo]

The default Google search box in Firefox shows 'popular suggestions' as you type your query, e.g. if you type in "johnny" it will show other popular search queries, e.g. "johnny cash", "johnny depp" etc

Something made me wonder if DI was a popular enough search to be in it.. and...

..there it is, seventh most popular Google search phrase beginning with "dirty i". More popular than "dirty italian phrases" even! :D

I'm gonna guess that "dirty ice cream" and "dirty iguana" are cocktails... or NSFW stuff.

Seriously, I work in the web industry and for a year-old site, that is actually pretty damn impressive. Nice work Aaron.

Oh no kidding!!! Awesome discovery!!

YES! we beat "dirty iguana" finally! omg im so stoked...

Seriously, though that is a funny find man.

Incidentally I just checked (at home :) ) and I was wrong on both counts.. Dirty Iguana is a club in Macon, GA and dirty ice cream is a kind of ice cream sold on the street in the Philippines. Or.. er... this (http://bigpicture.typepad.com/writing/2006/11/dirty_ice_cream.html) (possibly NSFW.. depending on how uptight they are where you work).

Hmm...

LOL at the dirty ice cream....

[MBasile]

lol at "dirty italian jokes" :)

I'm using Camino so I don't get search suggestions :(

So I was doing some web stats stuff and decided to check in how DI was doing in the Google suggestions thing:

[RS-ti_Andy]

dang! dirty italians.. whats with the italian searches?! hah

[UP2MTNS]

dirty indians? that's a little harsh. are indians so dirty that people search it all the time and so its showing up on here? LOL

No no. What that is, is Google's top 10 suggestions for searches that start with "dirty i". In other words, those are some other things that other people are searching Google for. Nothing to do with Dirty Impreza, other than having the same sequence of letters.

I think it may have some other connotations IYSWIM. I'm intrigued by people suddenly wanting to know what the word for "dirty" is in other languages though..
