pro tip
Insider knowledge shared
A pro tip is a piece of practical advice, ostensibly from someone with expertise or experience.
The term originated in gaming and tech communities but now appears everywhere: Pro tip: always read the fine print.
It's often used ironically to state the obvious or offer unsolicited advice: Pro tip: don't text your ex at 2 a.m.
