Ultracrepidarian.
Definition: one who is presumptuous and offers advice or opinions beyond one's sphere of knowledge.
The meaning of this word comes from a story in antiquity, in which the famed Greek painter Apelles one day heard a cobbler criticizing the way he had rendered a foot in a painting.
ul·tra·crep·i·dar·i·an ˌəltrəkrepəˈderēən/ adjective adjective: ultracrepidarian; adjective: ultra-crepidarian
1. expressing opinions on matters outside the scope of one's knowledge or expertise. "“Dad, how do we know the universe is expanding?” inquires your six-year-old. Try answering that without resorting to an ultracrepidarian trick here or there"
noun noun: ultracrepidarian; plural noun: ultracrepidarians; noun: ultra-crepidarian; plural noun: ultra-crepidarians
1. a person who expresses opinions on matters outside the scope of their knowledge or expertise. "most patients are ultracrepidarians when it comes to medicine"
Origin early 19th century: from Latin ultra ‘beyond’ and crepida ‘shoe, sandal,’ with allusion to the remark ne supra crepidam sutor iudicaret ‘the cobbler should not judge beyond his shoe,’ attributed to the painter Apelles of Kos in response to criticism from a shoemaker in Pliny the Elder's Natural History (AD 77).
Your reply is not responsive to my post.
Oh.
That was my point. And i thought you said you disagreed.
So you don’t disagree?
If your point was that “not all mansplainers are know it alls,” mine is that there is absolutely no reason to associate ultracrepidarianism with mansplaining at all, ever, to any extent.
I rather like my first response: Mansplaining is the application of right reason to fact for the purpose of demonstrating that feminist shit-goblins are full of it.
As an omniscient
ultracrepidarian
I explicate all.
I expected your explication..................A+++!..............
By 2020, the octogenarian crazy-uncle-in-the-basement Joe Biden may run for the office of Peesident as an ultradecrepidarian…
He already is one!...................
So my daughter asked a question today and I replied with a knowledgeable answer. She asked how I could possibly know the answer and I simply said “I’m an Ultracrepidarian.”
