What does the phrase you just got schooled mean?

"You just got schooled" is a slang phrase meaning you were soundly defeated or outwitted, especially in an argument, debate, or competition.

It implies that the person who used the phrase has superior knowledge, skill, or understanding compared to the other person.

Think of it like getting a lesson in humility - you learned something new (or rather, learned how much you *didn't* know).

Here are some examples of how it might be used:

* "You just got schooled on that history fact! It wasn't the Romans who invented concrete, it was the Greeks!"

* "I just schooled my opponent in a chess game. He didn't stand a chance!"

* "You think you know about video games? You just got schooled by a ten-year-old!"
