Pronounced: mote-john
Acronym for Master of All Trades, Jack of None. This is a play on the original, Jack of All Trades, Master of None. The original expression indicates a person who can do many things, but can't do many things well. Whereas MOATJON indicates a person who can do many things, and does ALL of them well.
MOATJONs are usually older individuals who, through many DIY projects over their lifetime, have realized many skills, which they have carefully honed.
You may be a MOATJON if you find you can do better work than a professional, because you give a shit. And there's no substitute for actually giving a shit!
A MOATJON might be found developing a new website, hosted on the cloud-based Linux-Apache webserver that he createdugxcgxf6yxf f. Then, he might replace the magnetron in his broken microwave oven, or even service his home's air conditioning system, *properly* recharging the system with refrigerant (refrigerant that was lost when a professional service tech loosened his Schrader valve - it happens!), using wet and dry bulb temperatures and PT charts, so that the system runs cooler and more efficiently than when the professionals just wing it.
A MOATJON might help his wife by installing her new hair extensions, or by repairing the broken handle on her Louis Vuitton Speedy bag (yes, he knows that's the model of her LV purse). When he's done with all that, a MOATJON might even log on to Urban Dictionary, and write his own definition for the acronym, MOATJON.

Neighbor #1: Have you seen all the stuff Brad's been doing around his house?
Neighbor #2: Yeah. He was actually fixing his air conditioning system yesterday. I didn't even know you could do that!
Neighbor #1: I know, right? I heard he rebuilt the pump motor for his pool filter too! Is there anything he CAN'T do?
Neighbor #2: No. I think the only thing Brad CAN'T do is FAIL! The guys a total MOATJON!
