Caught in 4K

Slang for being clearly caught doing something, usually with visible evidence.

In everyday use

“You said you finished the draft, but the screenshot says otherwise. Caught in 4K.”

What to keep in mind

It does not literally require a 4K recording. Evidence can still be misleading without context.
