What We Googled Most in Showbiz in 2020: What Does "WAP" Mean?
Google just released its annual "Year in Search" report on what we GOOGLED THE MOST.
And as it turns out, a lot of Americans went to Google to discover what "WAP" means . . .thanks to CARDI B and MEGAN THEE STALLION.
If you somehow DON'T know what it means by now, Google it. Or just listen to the song . . . they define it for you at least 15 TIMES throughout the track.
"WAP" is #1 on the list of things we've asked Google to define this year. "Entanglement" is second, after Jada Pinkett Smith admittedto having a previous "entanglement" with singer August Alsina.
"Antebellum" is third, after Lady Antebellum droppedthat part of their name because of its association with slavery. Other words we asked Google to define were: Pandemic, Asymptomatic, Juneteenth, Quarantine, and Furlough.
Here are some other highlights from the entertainment-portions of the report:
