Historians: I don't think I can teach 19thC history because my speciality is really the Northern Campaign of the Franco Prussian War (January 1871).

Political theorists: I can talk about anything 380 BCE to Rawls.
And then proceeds to every outgroup deriding every other outgroup as the most reprehensible outgroup.
Riffs on the theme:
Randos on Twitter: DON’T WORRY I GOT THIS
Philsophers: I can apply a completely random and inapt analogy to any situation as long as I mention Kant.
Economists: I can explain anything using the statistical software I have here on my computer.
Sociologists: I can explain anything already explained and understood in any other field because I learned about Marxism and social constructionism in grad school.
Economists: let’s assume Adam and Eve were utility maximizing individuals. Everything else follows.
Lawyers: Sure, I’ll take the case.
Music theorists: My dissertation was on interval cycles in Swedish death metal. I teach three sections of fundamentals and one class on sonata form.
Geographers: Let's look if this general theory about the earth also holds true for this small region where I come from / where my uni is / where I want to travel to.
School districts: You once looked at a picture of Caesar, would you like to teach AP World History?
Texans: I can tell you about Texas!
Non-tenured folk anywhere: Thanks for the paycheck. I just need to stay one week ahead of the students.
Physicists: I can teach everything.
Comparative Politics: I can compare local governance patterns in 16th Century Venice with Edo-era Japan!
SJW: Knowledge is a social construct exploited by patriarchal racists
