So sayeth Aerosmith. Look up the lyrics to "Pink".
Also, if I ran a search engine, I would block other search engines from being in my search results. Especially my top competitor.

Aerosmith was using it as innuendo, not slang.

Syd, these companies have finally realized that they can't swindle or sway the public with their hands in the search. It isn't right and it isn't what people want. Google knows they are kicking the piss out of everyone else's search, they can't afford to have their good name dragged through the mud now. And as for Yahoo/Bing, Microsoft has enough publicity problems right now.

There's a fine line between innuendo and slang. One person says it, it's innuendo. Enough people say it, it's slang.
Example - cock.
A cock was a drainage pipe. Someone thought it would be clever innuendo to call his penis a "cock". It caught on. Now it's slang.

That's great, but no one else calls a clitoris a Bing.
