The making of a meme: jukmifgguggh
Someday, people will ask one another "What was Google's hit count when you first searched for jukmifgguggh?" As as a with-it guy, I found out when Google reported 278 results. When I started writing this, it was reporting more than a thousand. Bing reports only two. Poor, sad Bing searchers. An internet meme is born, and they know nothing about it.The definitive story of jukmifgguggh is yet to be written. It awaits a serious historian who will interview the people who participated in the series of events that began on April 26, 2017. A day which will one day be known as jukmifgguggh day.Events were triggered at about 8AM Eastern time, when u/pheonixs1234 wrote this post on Reddit's ShowerThoughts subreddit. "Google could be lying about how many search results it gives, [sic] noone's going to actually check that far"A couple of hours late u/Sufyries responds:"Challenge accepted: it's true. "jukmifgguggh" did not hold any result and it didn;t"Within an hour u/Guest_1337 someone else says:"Not true, I googled the exact same phrase and got one result" That one result is the prior post. By the time I learn about jukmifgguggh Google rerports 278 results, There's a subreddit devoted to jukmifgguggh. It's named r/jukmifgguggh.It's got a few hundred sibscribers.Bing still gives no results.I go away for a while, return to writing this post, and Google's got more than 1200 results. Bing is up to two.I edit what I had written, put in links to user accounts and subredits and Google is up to 1500 hits, including several YouTube videos, several explaining how to pronounce it:And there's an entry in the Urban dictionary and even a few YouTube documentaries.And now we're up to 1400 hits. And this post will raise the count by at least a couple.Happy jukmifgguggh day, everyone!.Update: jukmifgguggh day +1 11:00 EDT. Google: 5,520 results, not yet including this post.Bing wakes up: 1,500 results
