Oh Google, you did it again. The number one trending topic on Google right now is a search for “nag a ram.” What could that strange term mean? Is it some strange 4chan stunt or just a weird glitch? Turns out its neither – it appears to be a fun little “Easter egg” surprise planted by some programmers at Google.

The Internet is good for a lot of things, but its become sort of a default resource for defining terms and concepts in everyday life (sorry Encyclopedia salesmen.) So imagine the fun surprise for thousands of users looking for a quick definition of “anagram.” When one enters that specific term, Google search suggestions asks “id you mean: nag a ram?” Get it? “nag a ram” is an anagram, of anagram!

For the record, the accepted definition of anagram is “a word, phrase, or name formed by rearranging the letters of another, such as cinema, formed from iceman.”

So for all the curious sorts out there looking to hop on the SEO hot topic trend game, Nag a ram is nothing but a fun anagram of anagram. (Silly Google.)

This joke was old when they first did it. When the *&^* are they going to stop it? I use anagrams all the *&^#$ time and I am sick of seeing it when I look up the wordsmith anagram server.

You know Macchendra, more people like it then don’t like it. If it bugs you so much, find your own way around it. It’s not harming anything, so I doubt they would stop because ONE person doesn’t like it. All it does is say “did you mean: nag a ram?”…It isn’t like it is hindering or harming any of your search results. Geez.
