A double gang wall socket has two outlets so you can plug two appliances into it.
A single gang wall socket has only one outlet, so you can plug just one appliance into it.
Note: You can plug a two-way adaptor into any socket outlet but this is only safe to do if the appliances you want to use take very little power. Such things as table lamps, a television and a hi-fi, a PC and a printer, etc. are all low-power appliances so they can be used safely with a two-way adaptor.
If you need to use more than two low-power appliances in a room that only has a single gang or a double gang wall socket then, for safety, you must use a multi-way socket panel. Such a multi-way panel has a cable with a plug so it can be plugged into any wall socket outlet.
Such multi-way panels are available from hardware stores and usually have between 2 and 8 socket outlets on them. Such a multi-way socket panel should always include a fuse to prevent all the appliances plugged in to it from overloading the wall socket.

Generally speaking when you say single gang or double gang, a single gang is two sockets and a double gang is wider and accomodates four sockets. You wouldn't normally say single gang socket. You would say single gang box or single gang face plate. which would be two sockets not one.

Single or double pole is usually a switch. 110 or 220 on a plug, 110 is usually a double outlet. 220 is usually or always a single outlet. Design of the outlet will vary depending on what is plugged into it. The slots can be 1 vertical and 1 horizontal. Both slots can be at an angle. If a regular 110 cord will not plug into an outlet, good chance it is a 220
Provided you don't exceed the power rating of the single socket - there are widely-available products to turn a single socked into 2,3, 4 or even 6 sockets. See the related link to Argos - they have a wide range of adaptors from simple 'plug-in' ones to trailing extensions.
A socket is not a port, though there is a close relationship between them. A socket is associated with a port, though this is a many-to-one relationship. Each port can have a single passive socket, awaiting incoming connections, and multiple active sockets, each corresponding to an open connection on the port. Port identifies a service no. e.g.25 port no is for smtp
