MEME REFERENCE

Is this a bird?

Use when someone confidently applies the wrong category or buzzword to something they barely understand.

What it expresses
A superficial resemblance becomes an absurdly incorrect classification.
Example
A manager sees any chart with an upward line and asks, 'Is this growth?' using the butterfly label.
When not to use it
A student tentatively asks an expert to identify an unfamiliar specimen; honest uncertainty is not confident misclassification.
  • wrong category
  • is this
  • mislabel
