Test this, you loving quack
- Sammy Jenkis
Memento (2000)


I don't know if it's because the word quack is inherently funny, or if it's the fact that you have to actually get a doctorate in order to earn the right to be called one. Either way I really like it when people refer to doctors as quacks.

In this thread please post examples of quacks. Also, if you konw of any other industry specific insults, please share them

from Wikipedia:

Quackery is the promotion[1] of fraudulent or ignorant medical practices. A quack
is a "fraudulent or ignorant pretender to medical skill" or "a person
who pretends, professionally or publicly, to have skill, knowledge, or
qualifications he or she does not possess; a charlatan".[2] The term quack is a clipped form of the archaic term quacksalver, from Dutch: quacksalver a "hawker of salve".[3] In the Middle Ages the term quack meant "shouting". The quacksalvers sold their wares on the market shouting in a loud voice.[4]

The term "snake oil salesman" tends to extend to both medical fields and anything sales related. Back in my old job (automotive parts) we nicknamed one product line rep "Snake Oil" because he clearly had no loving knowledge concerning what he was selling, but he would tell you how great the products were (and how they would solve your problems) all day.
