That's funny, but when I looked at your second link I realized you
didn't use the second field in the advanced search.  You used the first
filed which returns all the documents that contain the word lake and
cuomo even though these words may not be in the same sentence or even
in the same paragraph.  If you go down to the tenth page in your
search, you'll find stuff like this:

Look at where "lake" and "Cuomo" are in the documents above.  They have
nothing to do with "Lake Cuomo"
To get the results you are looking for, you need to use the second
field in the advanced search.  That will return all the documents that
have "Lake"  immediately folllowed by "Cuomo".  Don't you know how to
do an andvanced search or were you kidding?  If you were kidding, I
apologize for the explanation.  Anyway, here are the google results I
got using the second field in the advanced search.

PS the tee-shirt IS hilarious.


I think there might be a Lake Cuomo in New York State. It would have
been formed by the tears of the former Governor Mario Cuomo and those
of his supporters, when Cuomo was defeated in the guberatorial
election by George Pataki in 1994.
There is also a Lake Como in New Jersey, often mistakenly called Lake
Cuomo. I think the national prominence of Governor Mario Cuomo may
have something to do with the reason Americans say Cuomo instead of
Como.

 Como.
Yes, that's definitely the reason.  "Cuomo" is a household word in the
States.  Como isn't.

 governatorial?
Questa sul dizionario non c'č.

Questa sul dizionario non c'è.
sospettavo. l'importante è che abbia capito.
perché gubernatorial significherà la stessa cosa che significherebbe
governatorial, se esistesse, no?


States.  Como isn't.
So, let me get this straight: in the US there are some households,
although I've never thought about it, since it happens to resemble a
democracy (not a great one, though, with all its social injustices it
has got).
But with the name "household" you don't mean the Montague and the
Capulet, but (methink) the Kennedy, the Bush, the Cuomo...and withing
the next presidential election, the Clintoln too. What else?
'tis so?

In the US the adjectival form is used, but evidently not in the UK.
 2household
Function: adjective
1 : of or relating to a household : DOMESTIC <cooking and other
household arts>
2 : FAMILIAR, COMMON <a household name>

 the next presidential election, the Clintoln too. What else?
I didn't say household name.  I said household word.  You can look it
up on google and get the definition:
Household word
Dictionary
household word n.
A widely known saying, name, person, or thing: "It was an American
journalist . . . who made [T.E.] Lawrence a household word" (H.D.S.
Greenway).

Ok, but "carful" is not correct.

Household word
That I really don't undestand. Could be reset and start again from
scratch?
What are your main usages of the word "household", in what contexts,
and with what meaning?
thank you


 and with what meaning?
A household word means a very common word.
You could have found it in any dictionary or by googling, as Arianna
suggested.

 since Shakespearian times.
Besides, I understand it means "it seems to me". I don't know if it means
"I think", too. Apparently there once was a verb similar to "think" which
meant both things. 
What about "perchance"? I remember Joey from Boston using it, but can't
recall wether he was joking. Yesterday I watched two minutes of Wallace and
Gromit and someone said "Any post, was there, perchance?".

Bucketful (AmE)

Roomful (AmE)

Canful (AmE)
He ate a whole canful of beans.
Houseful (AmE)
She raised a houseful of children.
The items marked AmE are not in the on-line Oxford, so
I assume they may not be used in the UK.
