    "Twerking" Tops Google's Trends List For 2013

    Thanks a lot, Miley.

    The phrase "what is Twerking?" is at the top of Google's trends list in the U.K. for 2013.

    Also revealed was that more people in the U.K. tried to figure what "Yolo" and "spooning" meant than those who tried to figure out "the meaning of life."

    And apparently more people searched for "how to make pancakes" than they did about losing weight.

    The football stars people Googled most were Gareth Bale and William Borges da Silva.

    People were very interested in the Grand National and Wimbledon.

    "The Harlem Shake" and "Gangnam Style" were the top songs that piqued Brits' curiosity.

    More Brits were intersted in Rome and New York than they were Venice.

    And more people Googled "Big Brother 2013" than they did "The X Factor" by a long shot.

    But, despite top trends of searching for YOLO and spooning, Google want us to remember that 2013 wasn't all about passing dance crazes.
