Watch and Learn

Phrase · Slang & Abbreviations

Definitions

  1. A confident, sometimes theatrical, way of saying someone is about to demonstrate how to solve a problem. In engineering slang, it can land as inspiring or irritating depending on whether the demo works.

    In plain English: A phrase meaning pay attention because I’m about to show how it’s done.

    Example: "He said watch and learn before tracing the deadlock, which would have sounded arrogant if he had not actually found the issue in ten minutes."
