- Description
-
"Masterclass" is used sarcastically in online spaces to describe a situation that is a perfect, albeit disastrous, example of how NOT to do something. While the literal meaning refers to a lesson by an expert, the slang usage highlights a spectacular failure or a series of incompetent decisions. It is often applied to movies, games, or public relations stunts that go wrong in every possible way. The tone is usually mocking and cynical, suggesting that the level of failure is so high it serves as a teaching moment for others.
- Example

> His apology video was a masterclass in avoiding accountability.
> The launch of that app was a masterclass in bad user interface design.
