Default Googling without Pinterest

Someone posted a response lately that mentioned a way to Google without getting Pinterest hits. I didn't know you could and it sounded so simple I knew I'd remember...ha! Can somebody help me? Thx.

-site:pintrest.com

It would be interesting to see how many or how few hits one would get using this?

I think it was Quiltn Nan who helped me. I wanted to search baby quilts so I googled like this:
baby quilts -pinterest
no space between minus sign and word 'pinterest'

I noticed your edit note. - Because a colon with a p directly after it is a tongue sticking out smiley

I search in Google Images all of the time. Sometimes there are Pinterest links, but I seldom look at them.
