Googlism

From S23Wiki

You can use [[Googlism:text]] to do a Googlism:googlism

also i found this googlism.pl its a Perl proggi for getting goolism's found here

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;
use HTML::Entities;

if( @ARGV < 1 )
{
    die "Insufficient arguments.";
}

my $term = $ARGV[ 0 ];
$term =~ m/^(.+?)[ ?!.]*$/;
$term = $1;
$term =~ s/[^wds]//g;
$term =~ s/s+/+/g;
my $term2 = $term;
$term2 =~ s/+/ /g;

my $command = "curl -m 60 -s "http://www.googlism.com/index.htm?ism="
    . $term
    . "" | egrep -o ""
    . $term2
    . " is .+<br>" > googlism.out";

`$command`;

open( FIN, "<", "googlism.out" );

my $num = 0;
my @results;

while( my $line = <FIN> )
{
    $results[ $num ] = $line;
    $num++;
}

close( FIN );

if( $num > 0 )
{
    my $result = $results[ int( rand( $num ) ) ];
    $result =~ s/<br>//;

    print( decode_entities( $result ) );
}
else
{
    print( "No results for $term.
" );
}

and a nice Python googlism script here
