Thanks for the warm & encouraging welcome to Inquizzitive once again!
Today's question is a little different from the usual format. You need to explain which object of daily use was the keyword whose search trend is shown in the graph. The picture in the right hand bottom corner should serve as a hint. If you are unacquainted with Google Trends, then you may want to refer to this post from 2006.
I have selected 'All Regions' as the geographic setting to generate this chart, which means search data from all countries of the world.
And the correct answer is:
Shoe
The spike in searches was because of the famous shoe-throwing at George Bush incident in Iraq in December 2008. And the picture below is that of Muntezar Al Zaidi, the shoe thrower after he was released last week.

The pic shows the guy who threw his size 11 shoe at George Bush in Iraq,which led to the spurt in search queries.

One of the better events of last year. Muntadar al-Zaidi iraqi journalist threw his Shoe. Google trend for 'Shoe'. Btw what made you think of this? Planning a vacation over the long weekend on a 'shoe string' budget? (ab tho manager ho -all this is bhoka kaam. Ki bol)
The object is a "shoe", part of a string searched in dec '08, when the Iraqi journalist Zaidi threw his shoes at Bush.

I had the answer from the hint, before actually confirming with google trends to get exactly the same graph :)
