Googling guitar-related stuff is how I learned there’s such a thing as c-string women’s underwear & bathing suit bottoms, not just g-strings.

That was, briefly, a real WTF moment.

[edit] oh my god, of course that one didn’t come from searching guitar topics, that makes no sense given the standard tuning. I’m pretty sure I was googling strings in the C language when I hit that one, lol. I did probably accidentally land on “g string” after searching without thinking about what would obviously come up, when looking up guitar topics, and must have combined the two incidents in my memory.

Haha - my favourite WTF Googling moment was when, as a callow youth first setting out in learning Javascript and HTML, I Googled "How to get head"

Back in the mid-1990s I extracted a small part of the GNU C++ String library into a small package, which I called "GString".

I had no idea about the garment.

This reminds me of the time when searching for “c string” would probably result in “The C Programming Language” at number 1.

That’s what I get right now

In the early days of the internet, searching for things like C++ was really challenging because none of the first generation search engines could search for that particular string.
