I was fooling around with Google Trends again, after remembering Tinz’s fun post Google Trends helps me not understand us, and I realized that Google Trends offers another bit of analysis. Google Trends also tracks the top 10 cities that search for the term. So for giggles, I put in words that made me laugh (boner, boobies, Rip Taylor) and I found some interesting stuff. As you might expect, most of the cities in the top 10 are major metropolitan areas that have large english-speaking populations. One interesting fact that I learned was that the top 4 cities that searched the term “boobs” were all in India. The thing that stuck out to me the most was that one city was in the top 10 for the terms:
“Cock“, “Boner“, “Pussy“, “Balls“, “Nipples“, “Dick“, “Boobie“, “Boobies“, “Weed“, and (yes) “Rip Taylor“.
That city is Richardson, Texas.
Richardson loves Rip too!
Population of 101,400, Business Week’s “2nd Best Place to Raise Kids”, and is located in Collin and Dallas county. Richardson is mainly populated by young, white, families and has about 97 males for every 100 females. Richardson has produced several celebrities such as: Shawn Michaels (WWE), Jeff Dunham (comedian), Jessica and Ashlee Simpson (singers), Ann Rice (author), and Bill Engvall (comedian).
From all of the searching I have done, I have no idea why they would be #1 in appearances on that top 10 list for all of those terms. I guess this is another example of how Google Trends helps me not understand us!
