Each Friday Polari shares its favourite WTF?! search terms from the last 7 days.

How do Googlers get to Polari using some of these search terms?

Here are our 7 favourite, and no so favourite, WTF?! search terms from this week…

#1

you stole my scarf your vagina makes me barf

At first I thought, WTF?, but then I remembered that drag legend Jackie Beat sang this very line, and was quoted in these virtual pages (read here). Still, it stands out even more out of context…

#2

kate bush one eye

Has something happened to the reclusive babooshka that we dont’ know about?

#3

did the house keeper kill mr.alan turing

Really? That’s a lame conspiracy theory. It was the security services. Obviously.

#4

facial expression unique to gay men

Is it the one that goes with the clutching of imaginary pearls?

#5

death penalty for fags polari

Last week it was simply ‘death penalty for fags’, but now ‘polari’ has been added, which is just weird, unless someone was looking for the translation of said terms into the glorious Polari lexicon. Oooh, isn’t he bold!

#6

all gay conviction wiped including public toilets

It may be a weird search term, but I am sure the interview with the lovely Richard Lane from Stonewall (read here) will clear this confusion up.

#7

what crap is madonna talking now

That could cover a multitude of sins. It would probably help if there was a definition of irony that would aid Madge through the difficult times. Maybe then we’d know what she was talking about. Seriously, that’s so reductive.
