EBAS - Expert By Association Syndrome
They pretend to know everything about a subject just because their relative works in that field. They don’t care if they’re wrong. They just want to sound smart.
My cousin says she’s an expert on finance because her brother works in banking. She doesn’t know what a stock is.
My uncle claims to know about medicine because his friend is a nurse. He still thinks a stethoscope is for listening to your radio.
My niece posts about tech because her boyfriend’s coworker works at Apple. She doesn’t know what a phone is.
