Cuil (pronounced "cool") is a search engine created by ex-Google employees. It is renowned for failing to produce helpful results, and it has already reached meme status as a fail inside a fail wrapped in a fail.

To search for something easy to find but be unable to find it. (From cuil.com, a surprisingly ineffective search engine.)

A unit of measurement in Cuil Theory for the level of abstraction away from the reality of a situation. It was created to lampoon the terrible search engine capabilities of the Cuil search engine, while providing a functionally stimulating idea about the interrelationship between tangential things.

You ask me for a Hamburger.
1 Cuil: if you asked me for a hamburger, and I gave you a raccoon.
2 Cuils: If you asked me for a hamburger, but it turns out I don't really exist. Where I was originally standing, a picture of a hamburger rests on the ground.
3 Cuils: You awake as a hamburger. You start screaming only to have special sauce fly from your lips. The world is in sepia.

Cuil is a new search engine which at the time of writing this indexed 121,617,892,992 web pages. It claims to search more web pages than anyone else. It is an Irish website and orders pages by relevance rather than hits so the search results are pretty shit and you never find what you want. It is notorious for portraying porn in place of a websites logo.
John: Have you tried searcing the web using Cuil?
Jade: Yes, I got shit results from sites which had nothing to do with what I was looking for.

Cuil, pronounced 'cool' is a good way to describe something someone else has made that they think is blisteringly fantastic, but in reality does not work at all and would probably be better off not existing at all.
The term comes from the search engine Cuil designed by ex-Google employees, which frankly fails to do anything other then epically failing.

Two of my friends died trying to use cuil.
Cuil may not be able to search the interwebs, but can it run Crysis?
