Google's Dictionary

I saw it posted here (Hal??) whereby you can type a word in Google's Search with some characters and get immediate definition of a word. Anyone remember?

define beer

I don't know if there is another shortcut that you are talking about.

Same principal really, but I use dict. Simply go up to the address bar and type dict (word you want looked up). Nice and simple.
