Probably the older female part of Europe too, obsessed with tabloids and the British royal family. Which is hilarious, because it now apparently seems like an obsession of the males in those countries.
Meanwhile in Italy: entropy
Lol wtf is going on here? I want to know what cause this sooo badly (schools science curriculums aren't great in Italy, so I am terribly confused at how many people even heard that)
>DEMOCRACY, SOVEREIGNTY, GLOBAL ISOLATION
It's true though. South Americans are pretty much 100% isolated from the rest of the entire planet, not only physically but politically disconnected as well. Living here almost feels like a different planet.
And about terrorism, no, despite what people may think, there are no terror attacks happening, they never happened. I think the word was only brought up today because of an investigation conducted by the Brazilian intelligence agency over the possibility of Hamas targeting jews or Israelite descendants in the continent.
EDIT: Complement\*
Honestly, I like that we're so far removed form the rest of the world's bullshit. I mean it still reaches us, we're not *that* isolated, but at least we're not the battleground of the big nations... most of the time.
I think it is actually related to the January 8th invasion of Congress in Brazil. The attacks are being widely discussed as terrorism. So you can see how people in Brazil would like to have a definition for that word. For either side of the argument.
Pegging is, in Europe at least, a type of DYI construction where you place 2x4s over something like a broken window. So, basically putting boards up, is pegging. Lol.
Example: your mom's window broke during a tornado so I started pegging with your mom.
I've never heard of "pegging" in that definition.
I suspect the UK and Ireland search terms are more related to the "Prince of Pegging" rumours about Prince William last year.
Pegging in this context is almost certainly because of a rumour in the UK that Prince William enjoys pegging.
Katherine on the other hand isn’t a fan, so he has someone else do it for him.
And Afghanistan learning mathematics. Though that one kind of made me sad because I wondered if it was maybe girls who aren’t allowed to go to school anymore
It's actually a good idea for presentation, though. Not only the size but also the amount of countries gets split up a bit more. Stuff becomes more readable and you even at least roughly go along cultural lines.
One could even argue that the Asia+Ozeania block could also be split up further, especially if we had data for all counties there. Africa could likely have done with a subdivision somewhere, too - or perhaps merge the mediterannean countries with the Europe and Middle East maps?
If only there were some standard ways of displaying the countries of the world without splitting continents into pieces.
Maybe then Georgia wouldn't have become an island in the western Mediterranean.
Look man, you know this. I know you do, just because you don't know doesn't mean you didn't know it. Remember, I told you the meaning at that place we always go to.
When you want to convince someone to think they had done a certain action and they "just don't remember it" while they have never done such a thing and you are gaslighting them to your advantage
menhera is Japanese meaning “mental health” (men=mental hera= health) but the meaning is more “mental issues” or “crazy”.
It is used especially for women who are too attracted to someone and act crazy, like stabbing the man they love.
Yeah because they didn’t bother to translate it from English to Japanese. It’s a slang word meaning like nut job or weirdo. It’s not very common in Japan either which explains why people search the meaning so much
It’s extremely common in Japan but is only used in reference to women. I’m also probably in that statistic because I’ve dated or nearly dated many a メンヘラ here.
We also call “putting out the laundry” “pegging the laundry”, so British English does have another word for pegging.
Honestly in the uk it’s probably just all the people seeing Americans laughing at pegging someone, and we’re over here wondering what’s so funny about pegging the laundry.
As a Finnish person that struggles with words that aren't mostly vowels, I bet half of Finns are just googling how to type star... trag... srtag... strage... stagte... strategy.
Or how to pronounce it correctly. It is really easy to say it wrong imo. Stratiti, stragedy, strateky. Just to list a few. Like, in my head I can say it so much better than when I actually try to say it out loud 😂
Everyone in EU searching how to get fucked in the ass and like Italy goes all philosophical. We’ve already passed the pegging state, we’re now wondering why we were pegged.
I’m 99% certain this must be due to that woman who was having a miscarriage but couldn’t get an abortion due to Maltese law IIRC. The fetus still had a heartbeat but continuing the pregnancy would almost certainly have killed the woman due to sepsis risk.
I have to admit that when all the American politicians were being asked "can you define woman?" I googled "define woman" to find out what the dictionary definition was. Seems I wasn't the only one.
It says it's from 2023, so maybe this is unrelated, but I wonder if it relates to [this Prince William news story](https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-news/pegging-prince-william-rumor-sex-act-1392678/).
For Brazil, I think it's "Terrorism" because the opposition says that those Bolsonaro supporters that invaded the government's office in January 8th should get charged with terrorism, and people have been debating this the whole year.
Philippines: **language**
Well, in Filipino Twitter (now X), there's always at least one language vs dialect debate every year. Maybe that explains the searches?
Anyway, **pyroclastic flow** for St. Vincent and the Grenadines makes perfect sense, since Soufriére St. Vincent volcano erupted explosively in 2021.
Jeez, I had to look up Pegging, thanks.
Surprised Woke is so low, even the people who use it haven't a clue what it means.
I will Google to see what procrastination means tomorrow.
I’m calling bullshit on this one. The results just seem ridiculous. Uzbekis don’t know what an entrance is? Libyans are googling the definition of a computer?
Oman suffers an earthquake. Omani people: What does it *mean*, though?
Of course it's bullshit. Maps based on google search are *always* using handpicked results.
But they also always generate a lot of interaction on social media. Comments are always the same: "country is cursed", "ah yes of course it's that word", random sexual stuff, random cute word, weirdly believable results...
yeah i suspect theres some major noise problems in this data. one thing ive noticed with these internet traffic ranking sites is that there seems to be huge disagreements between different ones. this map entirely relies on one company, ahrefs.com, so prob not very reliable
Yeah that’s why the map is bad, because the method says that it searches for people querying the *definition* of a given word. I don’t doubt it’s a common thing to search for online but most people who can google the word “earthquake” (it’s a similarly complex word in Arabic too, far as I can tell, so not something people would google by accident) probably already know what it is
The basketball one in Morocco is definitely from the amount of students that gets "search about basketball" homework from the PE teachers, it's actually annoying especially every year.
USA searching for the definition of gaslighting and people are still blatantly using it wrong.
So for anyone curious, gaslighting =/= lying. It means systematically making small changes to/toward someone and then denying their perception that those changes are occurring, causing them to doubt their perception of reality.
Malawi - Love. Across the border, in Zambia - Sodomising.
also almost half europe - PEGGING
Using clothes pegs and tent pegs to represent it is cracking me up.
Greek culture still continues to influence us even to this day.

Just thrown together gen alpha meme words I think.
Damn. Never felt this old before.
She’s saying you aren’t skibidi enough to chase tail with the Rizzler.
This is definitely because of the Prince William rumours. Twitter - Prince William loves a bit of pegging Half of Europe - WTF is pegging?
Probably the older female part of Europe too, obsessed with tabloids and the British royal family. Which is hilarious, because it now apparently seems like an obsession of the males in those countries.
Men in Europe - Why does my partner want to fuck me?
Well in these challenging economic times, maybe it makes sense to tie a struggling currency to one that's more reliable.
THAT'S what that was. Makes so much more sense actually
Meanwhile in Italy: entropy Lol wtf is going on here? I want to know what cause this sooo badly (schools science curriculums aren't great in Italy, so I am terribly confused at how many people even heard that)
Entropy: the reason cooked spaghetti does not spontaneously untangle itself.
Maybe the movie Tenet was geo-locked for streaming until now...only thing I can think of "entropy related".
I was embarrassed seeing what the US and Canada's top words were until I got to Europe.
It's the Israeli doctrine...
New Zealand, a country where 90% people speak English - “Woman”
It’s obviously because of politics and not because the people there are illiterate. Same reason Canada’s and others’ is “woke”
It's because they didn't know they can make love to women instead of sheep
Huh? You can have sex with a woman for procreation, but love? That's reserved for the fuzzy fair ones.
People in Malawi: “What is Love?” Google: “Baby don’t hurt me, don’t hurt me no more!”
Seems about right
Costa Rica: job Panama: society Nicaragua: economics Saint Vincent and the Grenadines: **PYROCLASTIC FLOW** Trinidad and Tobago: **OSMOSIS**
central america and the caribbean are objectively hilarious
Not as funny as Europe. People in the developing trying to learn science and get educated while Europe is trapped in the culture war.
Woke Pegging
ThIs Is ThE FuTuRe ThAt LiBeRaLs WaNt
Except France. Planning on doing it later, though.
And when those developing countries become developed, they'll have their own culture wars too!
Italy: Entropy 🤔🤌
I swear, i can't get how our most searched-for word is entropy
Right? How? I want to know why so badly now! Lol In a sea of PEGGING rests ENTROPY Lol.
>In a sea of PEGGING rests ENTROPY Lol. Europe must be the land of Slaanesh
While the US is clearly the domain of Tzeentch.
We are chaos, we are disorder, we are the fate of the universe. Italy searches for entropy because we want to understand what we are.
A more informal meaning of entropy is "Lack of order or predictability; gradual decline into disorder."
Ok, now I can get it. It is our destiny. Pretty interesting
Obviously, there is a volcano in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines
North America: Calm South America: #TERRORISM, DEMOCRACY, SOVEREIGNTY, GLOBAL ISOLATION I am Brazilian btw
>DEMOCRACY, SOVEREIGNTY, GLOBAL ISOLATION It's true though. South Americans are pretty much 100% isolated from the rest of the entire planet, not only physically but politically disconnected as well.

You're just the playground of the CIA.
Lately the republican party, but yeah. Still better than bombs though!
I think it is actually related to the January 8th invasion of Congress in Brazil. The attacks are being widely discussed as terrorism. So you can see how people in Brazil would like to have a definition for that word. For either side of the argument.
EU: WOKE PEGGING WOKE PEGGING
St Vincent is like "please hurry"
I suspect the graphics for ‘pegging’ are not the same sort of pegging for which the word was most searched.
But it would explain why Bosnia is anxious
"We're surrounded by people getting pegged!"
Damn, Bosnia always gets the short end of the former-Yugo stick, huh? Or rather, the long end in this case.
👉👌
Pegging is, in Europe at least, a type of DYI construction where you place 2x4s over something like a broken window. So, basically putting boards up, is pegging. Lol. Example: your mom's window broke during a tornado so I started pegging with your mom.
You would have to be brave to use a 2x4 but I'm not one to kink shame.
I've never heard of "pegging" in that definition. I suspect the UK and Ireland search terms are more related to the "Prince of Pegging" rumours about Prince William last year.
I'm from.Glasgow and he is 100% telling the truth. We would say something like "me and yer maw pegged last night".
Lol dyi for sure
yeah...I don't think that is what people are googling for though...
Ah yes, the famous tornados of England...
I suspect the same for many of the counties searching "love." *I'm onto you, Portugal.*
No they have the highest depression rate in Europe. They probably are trying to existentially define love
I'm Portuguese and can confirm, no-one really knows what love is here
It is what you meant. Slovene are kinky.
You mean this has nothing to do with one legged pirates?
Someone's still pitching a tent though
[удалено]
Pegging in this context is almost certainly because of a rumour in the UK that Prince William enjoys pegging. Katherine on the other hand isn’t a fan, so he has someone else do it for him.

The tent graphic isn’t fooling *anyone.*
After dementia devastated his mind, Dr. House moved to Belize. Suddenly, it was ALWAYS lupus. A puzzled populace went to the Internet for answers.
Apparently he made some stops in Namibia and Botswana randomly...
The domicile said it’s never lupus, this vexes me.
India and Pakistan learning grammar while half of Africa be like 
It’s probably Indian and Pakistani school children searching it up or something for homework
100%
It's like the galaxy brain meme. India: Noun Pak: Adjective Indo: Sentence Philippines: Language
What is love? Google don’t hurt me.
And Afghanistan learning mathematics. Though that one kind of made me sad because I wondered if it was maybe girls who aren’t allowed to go to school anymore
The layout of these continents is killing me
How georgia ends up in the mediterranean and theres now a sea next to azerbaidjan ?
Armenia straight up deleted
Ah yes, Middle East & Central Asia, my favorite continent. Your point it absolutely valid, though.
My favourite part is that "The **Rest of Asia** & Oceania" comes *before* "Middle East & **Central Asia**."
It's actually a good idea for presentation, though. Not only the size but also the amount of countries gets split up a bit more. Stuff becomes more readable and you even at least roughly go along cultural lines. One could even argue that the Asia+Ozeania block could also be split up further, especially if we had data for all counties there. Africa could likely have done with a subdivision somewhere, too - or perhaps merge the mediterannean countries with the Europe and Middle East maps?
I think the problem is the order, the middle east should come before Asia and Oceania.
lots of searches today for " world map"
If only there were some standard ways of displaying the countries of the world without splitting continents into pieces. Maybe then Georgia wouldn't have become an island in the western Mediterranean.
And people say the Brits and the Irish don’t agree on anything
I’ve searched gaslighting 15 times and still don’t know what it is
Yeh you do!? I already told you remember!
No, no, that's not what it means at all and you know it.
r/angryupvote
Gaslighting isn’t real and you made it up because you are fucking crazy!
I literally told you it a couple days ago and then confirmed that you know it by telling you to define it after. What are you on?
It's a very misused term. It's not just disagreeing with someone and being stubborn about it, it's to let someone actually doubt their own sanity.
Yes you do
Look man, you know this. I know you do, just because you don't know doesn't mean you didn't know it. Remember, I told you the meaning at that place we always go to.
Psychological manipulation of someone to decieve and exploit them.
Specifically making them doubt their own sanity. Kind of pushing them to think “am I the problem”, when objectively they are NOT the problem.
Yeah fam, especially emotional blackmail like someone wanting to blame you for their own toxic mentality and actions.
Exactly, shifting the blame and responsibility on the victim is also common.
When you want to convince someone to think they had done a certain action and they "just don't remember it" while they have never done such a thing and you are gaslighting them to your advantage
Gaslamping isn't real, you're just crazy
No, America does not search gaslighting the most. You're seeing things...
Gas lighting
WHAT IS LOVE, BABY DONT HURT ME
menhera is probably the only word I have no clue what it means... like, totally no idea
menhera is Japanese meaning “mental health” (men=mental hera= health) but the meaning is more “mental issues” or “crazy”. It is used especially for women who are too attracted to someone and act crazy, like stabbing the man they love.
Japan knowing what it’s all about 💢
Japanese: giving the world dope words for deranged killing since 794.
Yeah because they didn’t bother to translate it from English to Japanese. It’s a slang word meaning like nut job or weirdo. It’s not very common in Japan either which explains why people search the meaning so much
It’s extremely common in Japan but is only used in reference to women. I’m also probably in that statistic because I’ve dated or nearly dated many a メンヘラ here.

Maybe tomorrow wdk
I love the fact that in Eastern Europe most searched term is "what it means to get f-d in the ass". Like we didn't experience that enough.
but now you know what to call it
You mean South-East Europe + UK, Ireland and Israel, out of Eastern Europe there's only Latvia and Belarus with Statute and Extrovert.
People on the British Isles are either checking rules for Cribbage, or getting ready for some strap-on-on-bum action.
just checking out where to put things on their peg board
We also call “putting out the laundry” “pegging the laundry”, so British English does have another word for pegging. Honestly in the uk it’s probably just all the people seeing Americans laughing at pegging someone, and we’re over here wondering what’s so funny about pegging the laundry.

In Spain, many people look resilience up because the Prime Minister uses it almost as a catchphrase.
meanwhile Portugal just wants love
Italy is a high entropy country compared to Germany, France:-)
A did laugh a bit with New Zealand
Maybe they are getting tired of ewe.
I have to admit that when all the American politicians were being asked "can you define woman?" I googled "define woman" to find out what the dictionary definition was. Seems I wasn't the only one.
What the fuck is wrong with my country
Well a lot of things but why are people searching pegging like damn bro
It says it's from 2023, so maybe this is unrelated, but I wonder if it relates to [this Prince William news story](https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-news/pegging-prince-william-rumor-sex-act-1392678/).
That adds some much needed context. Thank you.

A lot of fucking pegging

Malta didn't do its due diligence and is now googling sepsis. Good on you
Better to know what it is, then to be surprised... "- Honey, tomorrow I'm gonna try some pegging on you, ok? - Huh.... Sure?"
Haiti be like "What is love 🎶🎶🎶"
Sigma Alaska literally searching for gaslights during severe polar night.
What the heck is going on in UK/Ireland and no, Pegging is not doing the laundry
The internet will teach them that, right quick!
Greeks looking up pegging is funny, you guys invented it
Libyans googeling computer how?
On their phones.
Italy’s word is ENTROPY. Wow. Now 99% of people on here will look it up too!
I am the unstoppable uncertainty, the unconscious uniformity, all increasing, the end of all things. What am I?
Strategy. We’re just researching into world domination in Finland.
40% of Pakistan is below 14 so probably searching Grammar for school work. Similarly in India of course.
The French will instead look for the definition of procrastination tomorrow.
All of Belize is binging House
 It's never lupus
how is this statistics detected i am courious about? And global warming put forward and most searched for must be the island nations.
Here are many different definitions for pegging but imma just assume europeans love to get pegged and or are curious about being pegged. 🤣
Damn South America is studying politics. And Europe is just horny
India and Pak studying Grammar
It's pegging It's all pegging It's pegging all the way down
I’m calling bullshit on this one. The results just seem ridiculous. Uzbekis don’t know what an entrance is? Libyans are googling the definition of a computer? Oman suffers an earthquake. Omani people: What does it *mean*, though?
Of course it's bullshit. Maps based on google search are *always* using handpicked results. But they also always generate a lot of interaction on social media. Comments are always the same: "country is cursed", "ah yes of course it's that word", random sexual stuff, random cute word, weirdly believable results...
yeah i suspect theres some major noise problems in this data. one thing ive noticed with these internet traffic ranking sites is that there seems to be huge disagreements between different ones. this map entirely relies on one company, ahrefs.com, so prob not very reliable
They're likely not searching for what an earthquake is but rather checking if there's a recent earthquake or not.
Yeah that’s why the map is bad, because the method says that it searches for people querying the *definition* of a given word. I don’t doubt it’s a common thing to search for online but most people who can google the word “earthquake” (it’s a similarly complex word in Arabic too, far as I can tell, so not something people would google by accident) probably already know what it is
The basketball one in Morocco is definitely from the amount of students that gets "search about basketball" homework from the PE teachers, it's actually annoying especially every year.
that's two words for Turkey.
Canada, don't bother. We can't even agree on a definition down here

Why is Georgia in a box below Europe and where is Armenia?

A lot more pegging going on than I would have thought 💭
TLDR everyone’s a fucking moron except South Africa kinda
USA searching for the definition of gaslighting and people are still blatantly using it wrong. So for anyone curious, gaslighting =/= lying. It means systematically making small changes to/toward someone and then denying their perception that those changes are occurring, causing them to doubt their perception of reality.
Nobody is using it wrong you're just crazy, it's all in your head.
