Unfortunately, the Dictionary doesn't seem to care much for your word. The Dictionary really is a very closed-minded dictionary. It doesn't even like stylelessly or unstylishly, which yield a combined 416 google hits. If you want an adverb meaning "in a manner lacking in style" don't go looking for the Dictionary to help you out. And don't expect Googlewhack to let you fill in the gaps left by unimaginative dictionaries.

I thought googlewhacks had to use actual words. Or plausible ones, at least. (Shouldn’t it be either the simpler stylelessly or the baroque stylishnesslessly?)

Dan, so as soon as this post is googled there will be some really easy googlewhacks href=”http://googlewhack.com/” rel=”nofollow”>http://googlewhack.com/ to be found between the two posts. I think ‘stylishlessly irritated’ could describe me before breakfast most mornings.

See, I thought philosophers argued whether there is such a thing as an irrelevant detail.

And there I was thinking that philosophers spent their whole working lives worrying about irrelevant details…

Congratulations! According to my sources, you are just the second person ever to use the word “stylishlessly” on the internet. Who’s the first? You guessed it: pogue mahone.
