FLETCH ITS ALL BALL BEARINGS THESE DAYS MEME MAKER
ORIGIN & LORE
Released in the 1985 cult classic comedy 'Fletch', this scene features Chevy Chase as the investigative reporter Irwin 'Fletch' Fletcher. Undercover as an aircraft mechanic, Fletch finds himself in a situation where he must bluff his way through a technical inspection despite having zero mechanical knowledge. He confidently dismisses a complex issue by stating, 'It's all ball bearings these days!' to confuse his way out of the conversation. This clip has evolved into the ultimate internet shorthand for 'faking it until you make it' or using absolute confidence to mask total incompetence. It is frequently used to mock people who use buzzwords to sound smart or when someone tries to explain a topic they clearly don't understand. Relatable scenarios include corporate jargon, crypto enthusiasts explaining the blockchain, or interns pretending they know how to fix a server. Example captions: 'Me explaining my investment strategy to my parents' or 'When the IT guy starts using words that don't exist.'
