Explain What a Wheel Is

The act of defining something so universally understood that defining it is either a philosophical exercise or a profound waste of time. This phrase is used when someone treats a basic concept as if it's esoteric knowledge, or when a manager asks for a "high-level overview" of something everyone already knows. It's the verbal equivalent of explaining what air is—you can do it, but why would you? The only people who need a wheel explained are infants, aliens, and that one coworker who somehow got hired despite never having used a computer before.
Explain What a Wheel Is Example: "At the strategy meeting, the consultant asked us to explain what a wheel is—to define our core business, our mission, our reason for existing. We'd been there for a decade. The wheel was fine. The consultant got paid $50,000 to be told what a wheel is by the people who built it. We're still angry."

No What

Not what actually happened

If your description of the events that took place here is discordant with mine... You may be a delusion liar. I would tell you to fix yourself but it would be like telling a retard to wipe his own ass.
Hym "Much like your religion, that's not what actually happened here. Your assessment of what is happening is deliberately wrong and it has already gotten and will get children killed."
