Hey, Danny — didn’t you just say recently that sex terms are always among the most popular? I know Big
Brother in the UK has plenty of sex going on, but still — where are the sex terms?

Adult terms are stripped out of the Hitwise top list. FYI, misspellings are NOT bundled, either. So a search for argus wouldn’t equal argos.
