Rob concealed his status as a Wikillectual once he finally received his Wi-Fi PDA/Cellphone, though those with whom he engaged in intellectual sparring sessions often commented on his overactive bladder, as he constantly ran to the bathroom in order to query the site privately.

goofle

(n.) or (v.)

1. a text string mistakenly submitted to a search engine with typos or otherwise misspelled words

2. the act of mistakenly submitting a text string to a search engine with typos or otherwise misspelled words

Raj goofled with surprisingly unpleasant results when, during his annual powerpoint and internet-based presentation to the board of directors of 3M, he Google image searched for "pos tit notes."

engnese

Chinese influenced by English

often, abbreviated terms coined by young students interested in word play employing slang english practices and basic Chinese vocabulary

for examples, see terms such as duibs, bukeq, and meiguanx
The American students were prohibited from speaking English, however they often got away using some "student speech," even going so far as to pepper their sentences with engnese terms like duibs, bukeq, and meiguanx. Such terms became extremely popular, and it is rumored that even some teachers used them on rare occasion.

bukeq

no problem; it's ok; your welcome; meiguanx

a slang engnese term (some would argue chinglish as well) formed by the abbreviation of the Chinese term "bu ke qi" (of the same meaning as the slang)

formally coined and brought into popular usage by an American student known simply as "Liux" during the summer of 2006 in Beijing

related in form to the term duibs, as well as an appropriate response to the term, popularized by Liux during the same period
ACC Student A: duibs! i've been fanging pis the entire che ride.

ACC Student B: bukeq, all our duds have been laing since we left Beij.
