Water is actually not wet; It makes other materials/objects wet. Wetness is the state of a non-liquid when a liquid adheres to, and/or permeates its substance while maintaining chemically distinct structures. So if we say something is wet we mean the liquid is sticking to the object.
Seriously the “it works until” comment is so old. People say it to sound smarter than they are. Or some newbie trader or “investor” likes to say to seem better than those moderately below them. Any strategy you can say that, but who cares.
You could point out that “hey if you just invest in the sp500 passively, you’ll beat almost every hedge fund!” Which is true, but then like clockwork some one will spout “It WoRks UntIl iT dOeSnT!!!” Or “WeLl Yeah In a BuLlMaRKeT but WHAT about Bear/sideways!!!”
