Apropos has the compelling feature that I get to feel clever for knowing the word.

I believe man -k just runs apropos.

Yep! man -k even has an ISO standard with which apropos is compliant https://www.mankier.com/1/apropos.mandoc#Standards

Right. There's often a tension between features and ease of use.

Just don't be one of those people who go around saying 'hehe apropros of nothing mirite' at seemingly everything!

(Also, `man --apropros` is the long option fwiw. I'm not really suggesting that as a better alternative though!)

TIL about the -k option. Whoa.

ding.
