You have to do “Define English Person” (without quotes) if you leave the “an” in there the first hit is an article about the odd result. ---

> [@myskepticsight](#): > > I lol’ed. I didn’t. Why go to so much effort for such a one-dimensional joke? Um…so you’re using a vulgar word for the English…well, getting it through Google doesn’t make the joke any less prosaic. It’s like wrapping a piece of lint–the package doesn’t make it any more interesting. Or does this refer to something, like a movie that I haven’t seen? ---

also try (without the quotes) “Let it snow” “Do a barrel roll” start typing “is it normal to eat” and look at the auto-suggest results. Enjoy!
