the buzz log
If life is about the quest for meaning, than the purpose of Search must be to help accelerate the hunt. Every week we see a wide variety of lookups for the meaning of objects, customs, sayings, and, of course, life.
We've broken down our findings into two sub-lists. The first covers concrete, answerable stuff like "what is the meaning of a lotus flower" (answer - estranged love) and "what is the meaning of the name shiloh" ("gift for him"). There's a nice mix of popular Latin and French sayings as well as some queries on text message slang and curious lookups for a hit Coldplay song...
| 1. | RSVP Meaning (Répondez s'il vous plaît) | 6. | Viva La Vida Meaning (The Life Lives) | |
| 2. | Carpe Diem Meaning (Seize the Day) | 7. | Namaste Meaning (I Get Out to You) | |
| 3. | LMAO Meaning (Laughing My A** Off) | 8. | FTW Meaning (For the Win) | |
| 4. | Meaning of 666 (The Devil's Number) | 9. | Bon Voyage Meaning (Good Journey) | |
| 5. | Semper Fi Meaning (Always Faithful) | 10. | C'est La Vie Meaning (That's Life) | |
Our second list consists of the existential questions that are also popular in Search (example: "what is the meaning of an eclipse?"). Despite being blessed with a collective IQ of 102 and a reasonably fast web connection, we couldn't dare answer any of these ponderings. Perhaps you'll have better luck?
