student: about that proof...
prof: ah yes, i just finished reading the proof but don't worry. it is indeed trivial.

Get the trivialmug. A word used by software engineers that means "simple" and a word used by other people to mean "unimportant"
"Writing this algorithm will be trivial"
"Ugh I hate how the Red Carpet Peoples are always so trivial"

Get the trivialmug. When politicians focuses on the negative aspects of a specific object, trend, or issue while many other more important problems are left with no attention payed towards them.
Somehow, someway, The President Of The United States decides to engage in Politician's Trivial now, and against Tik Tok of all things, while near 200,000 people have died from a disease he has payed next to no attention to.

Get the Politician's Trivialmug. A logical fallacy where someone involved in an argument says the issue in question being argued over "doesn't really matter" in an attempt to shame their opponent into giving up so that their side can push their agenda unopposed.
This fallacy is easily countered by telling the person doing this argument to shut up and go away if they don't actually care.

Person 1: "Why do you care so much if the space marines in Warhammer 40,000 are female anyway? It's just toy soldiers, stop being such a whiny incel over nothing!"
Person 2: "Appeal to triviality. If you didn't actually care about this stuff then you wouldn't even argue about it in the first place."

Get the trivialmug. A non-trivial solution exists within the bounds of pan-contiguity. Specifically: non-trivial solutions can be expressed as a function of the ultra-finitive space of local heat-conservation (the-turquoise-line).
