Internet search giant Google have just released their annual list of most searched for terms. It is not a huge surprise that ‘Royal Wedding’ was the top search term in the UK. More worrying is the fact that ‘I hate Mum’ was the fourth fastest rising ‘I hate’ search term in 2011. What’s going on out there, kids?

The top ten ‘What is’ searches are illuminating. ‘What is AV’ topped ‘What is scampi’ and ‘What are truffles’. ‘What are piles’ came fourth.

The top food and drink searches reflect the dominance of the supermarkets. Tesco, Sainsburys, Asda and Morrisons were all in the top ten with, of course, Tesco leading the pack.

Perhaps surprisingly, curry was beaten into tenth place by cake which came in at number nine. Jamie Oliver was the only sleb chef to get a look in.

Here’s the list in full:
