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

gay chubby lion art

It’s bear, or cub, not lion! Unless of course there has been a further division into subcategories that we’re not aware of, which is always possible in our category-obsessed times.

#2

magazine about gypsies in uk

At first it was WFT?, but then I realised that this uk magazine has a name that grew from the gypsy slang Parlyaree to the gay slang of the mid-20th Century, Polari. But again, it’s proof that the Googlebot cannot think, so there’s your answer Mr. Alan Turing.

#3

bookstore provided gay hole

How can a hole in a bookstore be gay? Is it supposed to mean ‘hole’ as in ‘dive’ or is it the traditional ‘glory hole’. I’ll ask the lovely chaps at Gay’s The Word.

#4

are hyena homosexual animals

Interestingly, the plural for hyena can be hyena, hyenas or hyenae. The last one sounds like a condition featured on Embarrassing Bodies, though … But seriously, how do new hyenae come to pass if they’re homosexual animals?

#5

gay films with alot of sex

Isn’t that called porn? You can get that from … well, just about anywhere, and just about any gay magazine, online or off …

#6

people thought madonna was a flash in the pan, did madonna make masturbation normal, is madonna using gays for popularity?

I know, three appearances is excessive, but Madonna is now a staple of the gay identity, like moustaches were in the 1970s. The Polari answers are as follow: 1) true; 2) wasn’t that Onan? 3) of course not, she’ll use anyone she can to ensure her popularity, even orphaned children – but let’s face it, once she loses ‘the gays’ it’s all over for her.

#7

free unusual gay men’s websites

This is less WTF, more (almost) absolutely right (LBT notwithstanding). The thing is that, with the search terms as crazy they are, when one of them gets it right it’s a WTF?! And that is ironic.
