Is “the Cadillac of ____” still a relevant reference? It’s been a minute since the Cadillac brand has been known for quality.
It’s been a long time since anyone actually used a rule of thumb too, but it is recognized enough as a colloquialism to still be used in a sentence and understood as a metaphor. That is how I was using Cadillac here—not to refer to an actual Cadillac, but rather the pop cultural conception of what a Cadillac is supposed to mean.
Great Point 👍
The song I’m listening to from 2022 literally just said “Woke up in a Cadillac” too. 😆
The idea of a Cadillac is strong, even if the Cadillac itself is not, lol.
