Jack-of-All-Trades

master of none.
oder, Hansdampf in allen Gassen.

He knows stuff.

He knows a little bit,

a little bit about almost everything.

He knows about whatever you're talking about, to an extent.

When he doesn't, he can smile, nod convincingly, and say just the right things.

His list of soft skills runs around the block and back.

But, stick a needle into his inflated facade of cultural capital,

put him in real, practical situations

where life is short, shrewd focus is required, technicalities abound, and results matter,

and

watch

him

deflate.
