Technology/computing-based pun: it took nearly 3 hours for the Titanic to sink on April 14th 1912 so the pun can be used when files take longer than expected to sync.
Sync is the homophone of sink.
Sync being the abbreviation for synchronization or the process of keeping dataset copies consistant between one another in a computer system/network.

Jacob: Wow it's taking 3 hours for my files to sync with the network when it should have only taken 1 hour!
Jillian: Well you can say it's syncing slower than the titanic.
Jacob: Ah nice computer geek pun there!

Get the TikTok lip sync mug.A Sync Jockey is someone who claims to be a DJ but relies entirely on the sync button to match beats instead of manually beatmatching. They aren't actually mixing they’re just pressing a button and letting the software do the work.
It’s like calling yourself a pianist while using an autoplay function or a driver while sitting in a self-driving car. They appear to be DJing, but technology does the heavy lifting.
Unlike real DJs, who master turntables, CD decks, and manual beatmatching, a Sync Jockey sticks to digital setups like CDJs, laptops, or controllers, relying on automation to create the illusion of skill.
How to Spot a Sync Jockey:
🔹 Presses sync instead of beatmatching manually
🔹 Acts like they’re doing something impressive when software does the work
🔹 Fools the crowd into thinking they’re skilled
Common Misconceptions:
❌ It’s not about old vs. new DJs it’s about talent vs. talentless.
❌ Using digital formats doesn’t mean you rely on sync.
Finally:
A real DJ refines their craft. A Sync Jockey takes the easy way out, pretending to have talent they claim to use multiple players etc for creativity, when in reality, technology does all the work, keeping everything in 'sync.' That is not a skill. A truly talented DJ can do it manually.
Exceptions exist where a person has a physical or mental disability, or if the pitch/tempo slider is non-functional, sync serves as an emergency backup.
🔥 If pressing sync makes you a DJ, then microwaving food makes you a chef🔥

Oh, he’s a ‘DJ’? Nah, he’s just a Sync Jockey (SJ) aka a fraud with a level of shame bigger than his actual skill set.
