Imagine my delight when my husband said we needed strong boys and my disappointment when they turned up.

I'd imagine it's a brand name associated with a certain product.  ie.  I always say I'm going to push the Hoover around.  I have a Dyson but as Hoover was one of the early manufacturers, it stuck.  Possibly with same with Strong boys????

funny!!

I googled it, and just got bodybuilders. Nothing pornographic at all.

Hello,  I did not get anything pornographic so I do not understand why your thinking this,  it maybe young body builders that came up at the time but I did not stay on very long when I googled it as within seconds I went onto something completely different for example bbc.co.uk .  I'm unsure what you were looking for for expecting?  many thanks for input for other peoples..

Just because you said you were disgusted and distraught and wanted the content to be removed so I was presuming it was something less harmless than body builders. My apologies for completely misinterpreting the cause of your distress.

I think you're getting a little too concerned about it. There are hundreds of companies and names for genuine things which would come up with some "odd" results if you googled them with no context.

One of our competitors many years ago was a company called "Golden River" our very upper class and respectable old Chairman googled them once to see what they were up to and he recieved (and I quote): "Some very concerning results"

I see,  I guess it does happen,  not to worry anyways as I'm not particular concerned now after getting some thoughts from fellow members.  many thanks for input from you all.

I once googled the local restaurant to book it "The Farmers daughter"
 Let's just say I'm glad I wasn't sat at my desk in work 🙂

I often google random phrases in order to get myself outraged in these long summer evenings

This thread reminded me that they banned the use of "manhole "in parts of California.

Please don't google "manhole grease" though..

Some years ago, a friend tried to find the children's TV Saturday Morning AM website for his young son.

His computer found a SM site.

I had to replace a kitchen item a few years back. My hair curled when I Googled “Big Jugs”
