obviousism  

When something is right in front of you and you can't see it.

obviousism is when you’re looking in your pantry or refrigerator for a particular food item and can't find it, then some else comes over and points to it and it was really -- right in front of you because just experienced an obviousism.

obviousism 

An explanation offered with little clarity, to which the listener is met with a scoff and expression of disdain when requesting further detail.

The hour long discussion was full of obviousisms that left all, but one, feeling inadequate.

obviousm 

Obviousm is a disease. Its main and only symptom is the stating of the obvious, which is already known to everyone.

*Car explodes*
Red Dude: "Hey, that car exploded"
Blue Dude: "You suffer obviousm. Let me cure you be a strong kick to the head."

The act of making something more obvious.

Football is obviously a game where you use your feet on a ball. However, some people do not know what football is. This means we should obviousize it.

Obviousm 

A statement that sounds obvious but really isn't, leading a person who hears it to think that they knew it all along and therefore deem it unimportant. Obviousms sound obvious but carry a deeper or more complex meaning that often is overlooked.
Consider the statement, "you don't have to act on your feelings." This seems obvious to most people and in spite of "knowing" it to be true, very few people actually understand this. Most people find it very challenging - sometimes impossible - to separate their actions from their feelings.

Hold on, homie. That an obviousm. Don't act like you knew that all along.
