@asabaida I think a bit of research should be invested, as you suggest, when and if the developers decide to include a phrase or image which has entered online meme culture because a lot of the time the source of that content gets lost over time as whatever it is enters the realm of pop culture.
Case in point, a couple of years ago our teenager was going around repeating a popular meme phrase which he had heard from his friends involving a character from a movie franchise that he liked without any idea of the context behind that phrase- I'm deliberately being vague here because the context is decidedly not family friendly.
He wound up adopting that meme phrase as his own personal catch phrase probably because all of his friends thought it was funny when he said it and I have no idea how long he was repeating it but one day be casually used it in my presence and I asked him if he knew the implications of what he was saying. Needless to say he was pretty horrified when I informed him.
I've had to educate him a couple of times with various things he's adopted as catchphrases since then.
But story telling aside, I don't think that everything needs to be researched because that's largely unnecessary and a waste of time and resources because if you look deep enough into anything and twist it around in your mind enough literally anything that might be added could be turned into a double entendre and you'll otherwise rule out harmlessly silly catchphrases. Don't go down that particular Internet rabbit hole because you probably won't like what you find.
At the end of the day, for the majority of people a Taco is just a kind of Mexican dish which Crazy Dave has for lunch.

@realitysquared Exactly, the taco is an important part about PvZ. Next thing is I find out "brain" is a dirty word.. oh wait.
