I can't tell you how many watercooler discussions I have overheard where the office jocks tell ladies straight-faced what is wrong with their cars, though you can tell that their knowledge is minimal. I know they mean well, and when I was young I did the same stupid thing among many other stupid things I still do even though I consider myself mature now.. I mean I am ignorant about finance and real estate and i catch myself giving stupid advice to others sometimes thats probably equally comical..

Guys around the water cooler tend to talk about a lot of things they know nothing about. I've given up on arguing about things, even when I really do know what I'm talking about, because I know they'll try to contradict everything.
It's called "man-facting." Not just talking about something one knows nothing about, but arguing strongly about something of which you have no knowledge.
