A "googlewhack" is a pair of words which, when entered into Google, return exactly one result.
There are people who score their googlewhacks, if they find one, by searching on each word in the pair individually, looking at the number of hits, and multiplying the two numbers. So, for instance, "breathalyzer mellowness" would score 30,500 for "breathalyzer" and 12,600 for "mellowness", for a total score of 30,500 x 12,600 = 384,300,000
"Orthoptera kashrut" returns two hits, so is therefore not a googlewhack.
Actually, you put the two words in seperately, not in quotes. So that's not a googlewhack, because, while "overclock red" only shows up in one web page, the words "overclock" and "red" show up in 26,000.
