check Wikepdia if you don't know what it is
Or just read the meaning of it here
A Googlewhack is a Google search query consisting of two words, that returns a single result. Since 2003, British comedian Dave Gorman has toured Britain, France, Australia, Canada and the United States with a show entitled Dave Gorman's GoogleWhack Adventure, and published a book of the same name. These were based on a true story. While attempting to write a novel for his publisher (Random House) Dave became obsessed with Googlewhacks and travelled across the world finding people who had authored them. Although he never wrote his novel, he did eventually write a book about his "Googlewhack adventure" which went on to be a Sunday Times #1 best seller in the UK and has also been published in the U.S. and Canada. A translation is in the works for Japan.[1]
Some of the googlewhacks used by Dave Gorman in his book are Francophile Namesakes, dork turnspit, unconstructive superegos, bibliophilic sandwiched, dripstone ingles.
Participants at Googlewhack.com discovered the sporadic "cleaner girl" bug in Google's search algorithm where "results 1-1 of thousands" were returned for two relatively common words. Further details can be found at: http://www.googlewhack.com/nack.htm

Think it might still work. But how about:
rusty hypokaliemia
Btw, I remember the Dave Gorman show when he tried to find them. Very funny. Just like the show where he tried to find other people called Dave Gorman!

Howdy Fluffy!

Doing fine thanks. Been a tough, busy year though. Hence less PC time.
I based my whack on that fact that in my job I see lots of medical terminology...so thought that might narrow the search down a bit! I've had a few searches down to 2 results, but that was the only true whack.
So come on folks.......where are yours??
