"I couldn't possibly fail to disagree with you less."
20 December 2005Well, I (almost) neverHow Slut-o-Meter works:
Slut-o-meter evaluates the promiscuity of the subject you enter by comparing the number of Google search results with and without "safe-search" enabled. A complete slut would return unsafe results and no safe results. Alternatively, a clean name should produce the same number of safe and unsafe results.
The exact formula is here. Applying it to the mysterious word "dustbury," we obtain promiscuity (as of this writing) of 5.42 percent. (Via Majikthise, which scores 6.02 percent.) Addendum, 22 December: Frank Wilson (book-review editor of the Philadelphia Inquirer) would like to know: "What can you make of something that rates Henry James sluttier than Tolstoy and Kerouac?" I figure it was transfixed by The Turn of the Screw.

"My dog Gabe" has a promiscuity of 12.5 percent. That's a lot higher than even "Wonkette" (8.65). Should I be worried? Posted by: Sean Gleeson at 8:33 PM on 20 December 2005I'm sure Ana Marie can take up the slack. Heh. You're sluttier than I am. 4.4% Posted by: aldahlia at 8:38 PM on 20 December 2005I was a 7.87. I think any female name will generate big numbers. I ran a couple of friends through it and came up with absurdly high ratings; one of them justifies it and the other doesn't.

Posted by: Winston at 9:35 PM on 20 December 2005My blog's name, "Play One on TV" topped 11%, which I'm sure is entirely due to Paris Hilton's influence (who nets an 84% all by her little, little lonesome). By contrast, my wife's name barely made 4%, certifying her as a Paris Hilton-free zone. Couldn't ask for more! Posted by: Joe Goodwin at 10:00 PM on 20 December 2005Good grief -- I hit 20%!

Posted by: McGehee at 9:47 AM on 21 December 2005Oops, sorry -- Dwayne already took 'em. Posted by: McGehee at 9:48 AM on 21 December 2005The formula is incomplete. I'm sure we must enter the length of blogging into it somehow. Interestingly, I've been getting a few hits from Wikipedia lately because someone quoted me under 'Clitoris'. (I pointed out that it was not discovered in the 16th century, as some ignorant people allege. The Greeks had a name for it, which was in fact 'kleitoris', so those 16th century anatomists didn't even claim to have discovered it themselves.) I wonder if those account for the 1.49%.
