More Cowbell

Phrase · Slang & Abbreviations

Definitions

  1. A joke from a famous SNL sketch used to mean adding more of something in an exaggerated or unserious way as if quantity alone will solve the problem. Engineers use it sarcastically for dashboards, AI, meetings, and anything else overprescribed.

    In plain English: A joke meaning 'just add more of it' even when that is not a real solution.

    Example: "Apparently the answer to our onboarding problem is more cowbell, by which I mean three more prompts."
