In a thread about nutrition, a couple of posters made a reference to “living on reds, vitamin C, and cocaine”. Obviously a pop culture reference of some sort, but I wasn’t sure what, so I selected the phrase and right-clicked, and as always, I get the option to Google it, or alternately, Apple has a feature to “look it up” (I’m on OSX). Usually, that just gives a dictionary definition, and sometimes it completely misunderstands the context and gives something irrelevant, but in this case, it pointed me to another SDMB thread! Living on reds, Vitamin C and cocaine.
We’re noticed! Apple noticed us! One of the Popular Kids knows we exist!
It’s cool that it points to us, but while maybe getting the context right, it gave something mostly irrelevant. The phrase is from the Grateful Dead song “Truckin’”. It’s a pop culture reference to that, not that thread.
I mean, search isn’t really its primary purpose. It’s more like an enhanced dictionary. If I see a word I don’t know, or if someone complains about Representative John Robertson and I don’t know what state and party he is, it’s usually a quick go-to help. I didn’t really expect it to give good results in this case, and I’m not entirely sure why I tried it.
