Back in February, I blogged about the snow we had on Valentine's Day.  In that post, I misspelled the word ugly.  About a week later, I started getting search engine traffic for the phrase “ungly people”.  I fixed my spelling, but search engines are lazy and I still get alot of traffic for people looking for “ungly people”.  Not that I mind getting more traffic, as is evident by my prolific use of the word “ungly” in this post.  I'm hoping someone can tell me if there is some meaning for that word that I am unaware of.  None of my dictionary resources show it as a word.  Are other people simply making the same spelling mistake I did?  And if so, why are they so interested in seeing ugly people?  Are they themselves not attractive, and they seek to boost their self esteem by viewing others who are less attractive?  Believe me, you will not find them here!

Can anyone shed some light on this? Or give me your theories of what's going on?

I would have thought that it is actually an Asian person searching for "hungry people", but they got "people" right. So, the jury's still out.

I actually think it might might be an acronym. Like "P.A.G.A.N."

well, this is what I've found.

Gly is a shortened version of glycine, which, according to dictionary.com is:

"the simplest amino acid. It is a common residue in proteins, especially collagen and elastin and is not optically active.

It is also a major inhibitory neurotransmitter in spinal cord and brainstem of vertebrate central nervous system"

so then by adding the prefix un-, we get:

"the complexest amino base. It is an uncommon residue in sugars, with the exception of collagen and elastin, but it is optically active.

It is also a minor inhibitory neuroreceiver out of spinal cord and brainstem of vertebrate central calm system"


Hope all of my research helps. Now, off to locate more ungly people!
