Google game

Inspired by my last puzzle thread, lets play the google game.

The winner is the person who finds a common english word which has the least amounts of google hits. the following rules apply.

1) It must be common i.e. be found in a smallish dictionary
2) It must be spelt correctly (no slang stuff)
3) It has to have 5 or more letters


I'll start the bidding with the word

Kilns = 695,000 hits

copse = 202,000

I would say this is common in that its widely known as a very long word. Although it probably wouldn't be found in a mini dictionary (you can be the judge on that) So, probably because this word is quite hard to spell...

Antidisestablishmentarianism gave me only 28,100 hits.

Its not in my dictionary but I'll allow it as I have heard of it, but I can beat it with

Mummify = 24,400

galavant - 5290

circumloquatious - 22

edit: this spelling isn't recognized by dictionary.com, so it probably doesn't count.

nice rich, I thought I was doing OK with infantesimal..302
(alternate sp. infantecimal had 41 hits, but wasn't recognized by dictionary.com)

adnascentia...3

Nongangrenous - 128
phrontistes - 154
ravanastron - 166

Although they aren't exactly common words.

Come on guys, normal words.... Let's not have any galavanting around out there....;-)

Interesting, when I run google on "galavant" now, I only get 837 hits. Why would it change that dramatically in a few hours? Hmmmm.....

I ran the rest of the words previously posted, just for fun. Here's my comparison of the two google runs. Any ideas as to why they change?

kilns - 695,000 697,000
copse - 202,000 202,000
Anti.... - 28,100 25,500
mummify - 24,400 24,500
galavant - 5290 837
circumloquatious - 22 22
adnascentia - 3 5
Nongangrenous - 128 85
phrontistes - 154 155
ravanastron - 166 159

Now that is a good question.
