Quack is an internet slang term used to describe someone who claims to be an expert or a professional in a specific field but lacks the necessary knowledge or qualifications to back up their claims. These individuals often pretend to be knowledgeable or skilled, but their advice or information is usually unreliable or even false.
Examples:
1. Be careful when taking health advice online; there are many quacks who pretend to be doctors but have no medical qualifications whatsoever.
2. I asked for advice on fixing my car on a forum, but all I got were suggestions from quacks who had no idea what they were talking about.
