The 'Badly Explain Your Profession' trend took social media by storm on platforms like Twitter and Reddit, where users challenged each other to describe their careers in the most literal or absurd ways possible. Instead of using corporate jargon, participants use low-level descriptions—for example, a pilot might say they move a giant metal tube through the sky, or a developer might argue with sand until it thinks. The humor lies in the disconnect between the complexity of a role and the simplistic reality of the daily tasks. It serves as a relatable form of professional self-deprecation that resonates across almost every industry.
