jack-of-all-trades

The other definitions are wrong.A Jack of all Trades is someone who is decent at everything, but not especially adept at any one thing.



jack of all trades
A term used to describe someone who knows a lot about many things, but, with the second tag "master of none" added it transforms into a derogatory phrase meant to emphasize how mastery of one skill is important for deeper knowledge.

However, one, oft forgotten tag is the third one: "is oftentimes better than a master of one". Instantly, the term reverses meaning, symbolizing how a person who knows a lot about many things that integrates their skills allows them to surpass even a master of one.

Interesting phrase, nonetheless.
Example:
"Man, Tom knows a lot! He's a jack of all trades, aint he?"

"Yeah, but he probably doesn't know a lot about specifics. You know how it goes: Jack of all trades, master of none."

"Jack of all trades, master of one, is oftentimes better than master of one, man. Tom's pretty smart."


jack of all trades
a jack of all trades is a person who is not an expert in any fields, but knows a little about everything.

jack of all trades often lack an university degree, as they didnt specialize in anything, but studied/learned a bit of every subject.
Example:
1: omfg john knows freakin everything!
2: nah, hes just a jack of all trades. dont ask him anything deeper tough.
