Ok... so this is embarrassing.
I typed in "boobs" on EncyclopediaDramatica's search because, well, it's a really funny page.
But now I've got a problem... EVERY TIME I click a search field in Chrome now, it shows "boobs" as the first suggestion in the drop down!
This is not really socially acceptable as this laptop goes with me everywhere and Chrome is my primary browser.
Is there a way I can isolate and remove just that one entry?
Note that you may have to press shift+delete in some cases, like if the autocomplete is in the address bar (URL) field.

If it still doesn't work:
Close the page and reload it; it should now be removed from autocomplete;
Check if the unwanted URL is in your bookmarks; once removed from bookmarks, it will disappear from autocomplete.
delete and backspace. No keyboard I know contains both fn and delete. fn-backspace means delete.
delete key. They have a backspace key, but in the US version only, the word "delete" is written on it. It still works as a backspace key, and you still have to use the fn key to get it to work as a delete key.
