I have used this phrase for many years to describe things that are half-baked or amateur in nature. For the sake of posterity, I thought I'd do a post on it and share with all of you this handy phrase which you can feel free to use liberally.
Urban dictionary defines it nicely and points to another one of my favorite phrases to help define it – 'Amateur Hour.' At the risk of incurring the wrath of auto racing fans, it also describes the minor league baseball of racing. NASCAR is the show while the Busch Series was (it appears to now be sponsored by Nationwide – I don't keep up) the next level down.
My point is to know what you know, know what you don't know, and don't pretend you know everything. If you do, this label or one like it will find you eventually.
