BADWILL (AND GOODWILL)

   A NEW YORK POST columnist wrote about "Hillary's Bad Will Tour."  The
response is in Sunday's letters (www.nypost.com).
   "Goodwill" is one of OED's oldest words.  OED does not have "badwill."

GOODWILL--2,130,000 Google hits
GOOD WILL--1,460,000 Google hits (many for the movie GOOD WILL HUNTING)
BADWILL--3,820 Google hits
BAD WILL--58,900 Google hits

GOODWILL--210,000 Google Groups hits
GOOD WILL--352,000 Google Groups hits (again, there are movie hits)
BADWILL--1,250 Google Groups hits
BAD WILL--40, 500 Google Groups hits

   One Google hit reads "Bad will vs. Goodwill."
   And just checking...

PEACE ON EARTH--288,000 Google hits
WAR ON EARTH--13,600 Google hits

BASH-WAGON

   A story in the Sunday NEW YORK POST sports section mentions the football
NY Giants "bash-wagon."  This is not a particularly clever play on "bandwagon"
(something to jump on during good times), but there are some hits.

BASHWAGON--46 Google hits
BASHWAGON--107 Google Groups hits
BASH WAGON--70 Google hits
BASH WAGON--90 Google Groups hits
