google define

If you haven't know and lazy to install a dictionary application like me, there's a define keyword in google that you can use to help you. For example if you type "define hiatus" the top result will show the web definition of the word hiatus, like this :


Web definitions for hiatus

its quite helpful, it can define not only English keyword, but also other like Japanese (try define hikari or minami). To bad that there's no translate keyword , i guess i'm just to lazy :P
Anyway, after using it couple of times, I'll try querying "define google" and here's the result :

and when i try querying "define yahoo" the result is... tada :
