What are you an expert in?

pennydreadful

We all know more about at least one topic than anybody else. No matter how trivial, there is something we are all experts in. What topic do you think you understand better than anybody? Whether its related to your career or something you've come to understand informally, it all counts!

I'll start.

I did my dissertation on the Great Blasket Island, and have continued to work on/research the heritage of the island since. There is very little you could ask me about the island between 1890-present day that I wouldn't be able to answer.

In addition to this, I am also a bona fide expert in public toilets in Dublin City Centre. As strange as it sounds, I really appreciate a good, clean public toilet and at any given location in town could tell you where the nearest/cleanest one is.

The epidemiological profiles of certain extirpated populations in sub-Saharan Africa.

Oh, and tea bags.

Whenever I have sex I always cum faster than the other person.

Record is 3.7 seconds.

Women are such sore losers too as they usually get up and leave as I'm celebrating.

Did my thesis for my undergrad on Oscar Wilde. Must have read every play, novel and poem he ever wrote and every biography and book dedicated to him. So I know a fair bit about him.

Wtf is Peig about? :D:D

The law of marriage and gender.

Or at least, that was an essay I did in the early 90s. Think there have been a couple of changes, some referendum or something...

Nothing. I'd be more the type who'd know more about more things than nearly everyone but I don't have a specialty.

The days of expertise are numbered with google at the touch of a button everywhere and anywhere.
My expertise which is actually beyond useless is that if you were to ask me the year that any major movie was released in the 20th Century, there is a very high probability I will know it.

e.g. Rainman? 1988, yeah...yeah....definitely 1988.

Where's that feckin dog...........

I'd be up there in FIFA... in FIFA 10 I went like a month unbeaten online. Think it was 50 odd games against 50 different people.
Was also No.1 on PS3 on World Cup 2010 for online world cups won.

Apart from that maybe "Friends", I've watched them so many times I'd know a lot of small details.
Ditto for the early Simpsons but would have retained more of Friends.

Current affairs. I'd know the ins and outs of most news events from geopolitical context to granular facts like dates and timings of terror attacks and explosions etc. My job relies on it.

I also know a lot about dental hygiene coz a close family member is a dentist and clean teeth are a bit of a fetish.
