  Hmm, according to the entomology here, it's an insult? I didn't think so. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/jack_of_all_trades https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/jack_of_all_trades > Originally a term of praise (competent in many endeavors), today generally used disparagingly, with emphasis on (implied or stated) “master of none”, as in later longer form jack of all trades, master of none.
