Significado
To be very skilled at something.
Contexto cultural
The phrase is often used to avoid 'Janteloven'. It allows people to praise each other without sounding too formal or elitist. In Danish offices, this phrase is a common way to identify 'super-users' of software or specific internal processes. Younger Danes use it ironically for 'useless' skills, like being good at a specific meme format or a video game. Actual martial artists in Denmark sometimes find the metaphorical use funny, but they might correct you if you use it for a sport where black belts don't exist.
Use it for 'Soft Skills'
It sounds very native to use this for abstract things like 'diplomacy', 'patience', or 'reading people'.
Watch the Irony
If you use it for something negative, make sure your tone is clearly joking, or it might sound like a real insult.
