I eat crayons
WSB self-burn: 'I have no idea what I'm doing.'
Definitions
Self-mocking disclaimer used by WSB posters to undercut their own takes. The bit: the poster is so dumb they literally eat crayons, so obviously this isn't financial advice. Often deployed before or after a perfectly reasonable trade idea, as plausible deniability and as in-group signalling. The crayon-eating image is borrowed from US Marine Corps lore.
