How it's used

Describes whether something or someone possesses the necessary quality or skill to be considered professional or acceptable within a specific field. It often carries a judgmental or critical tone, implying that the subject falls short of expectations. While it can refer to following a trend, it is most frequently used to dismiss something as amateurish or substandard.
