elgooG is the word Google spelled backwards. It has been used in the URL of an unofficial joke mirror site of Google Search, which allowed users from Mainland China to bypass the Great Firewall.
== History == The first usage of the term comes from a Google mirror site created by All Too Flat, a website dedicated to "useless information and the promotion of laughter". It accepted queries and provided search results that were spelled in reverse alphabetical order.
