A clever device used with the internet, usually used by school-aged children for reports, etc. Unfortunetly, there are downsides to this information mecca. Most results include pornography, which really should not be seen by school aged children. Sites include Google, Ask Jeeves, and AltaVista.
Little Bobby: Mr. Teacher, I typed in the search engine "Horny Frog" and I got all this stuff...does this have to do with the horny frog?
Mr. Teacher: "Come see live horny girls frog each other!?" My! Tommy, shut it off now!

english english

The original language, that is to say the language spoken by the people of its country of origin. As opposed to American English (aka 'Anglo-American') and worst of all Microsoft English (though there are a few others which vary from the original to a lesser extent).
The most notable change in the American variant of English is that it has hundreds of changes to spelling, mostly to make it more phonetic, though there are a few words which have been added or their definition changed.
Microsoft English is the language that Microsoft Word describes as 'English (UK)', and remains a mystery to us mortals. No-one knows what the f*ck it is, but it's certainly not quite the same as anything else. I really want some of whatever the programmers were smoking when they made Microsoft Word's spelling/grammar checker (emphasis on the grammar check).
Person A - "WTF?! Look at this grammar 'correction'!"
Person B - "Whoa! What's that all about? I wish MS would just use English English!"
