Things Everyone Pretends to Know (But Absolutely Don’t)

Heading

From NFTs to APR to ABC, we act like we get it — but we really don’t. Here’s a hilarious list of things people pretend to understand, but absolutely don’t.

Let’s not kid ourselves — we’ve all nodded our heads during a conversation, pretending we knew exactly what someone was talking about... when really, we had no clue.

It’s a human survival skill: smile, agree, and Google it later.

Here are some of the biggest things people pretend to know... but don’t.

1. NFTs

Yeah bro, it’s a digital token on the blockchain!

Translation: No one actually knows what the hell this is.

Including the people selling them for $40,000.

2. APR

Ask someone what APR is, and they’ll tell you it’s... something about credit cards? Or loans?

We’re not sure, but it sounds like something you pretend to understand while signing your soul away.

3. Wine Tasting

Oh yes, I can definitely taste the earthy undertones and hints of cherry bark.

No. You can taste grapes and alcohol. Stop lying to yourself.

4. Cryptocurrency

It’s money. But not real money. But it’s real. But not in your wallet.

Yeah... totally makes sense. (Not!)

5. The Stock Market

People throw around words like bullish and dividends, but deep down?

All they’re hoping for is to see that graph go up.

6. WiFi

We know it makes the internet work. But how? Magic? Tiny invisible gremlins?

Exactly. Nobody knows.

7. Quantum Anything

The moment someone says “quantum,” just know it’s science fiction until proven otherwise.

Final Thoughts

Life is full of stuff we pretend to know to avoid looking dumb. But here’s the truth:

Nobody really knows what’s going on. We’re all just winging it.

And that’s the beauty of it.
