problems

Where EMS stands for Extra Marital Sex instead of Emergency Medical Services!
While doing a crossword puzzle with some friends...A friend says name me an eight letter word that ends in EMS. Without hesitation the local fire chief yells PROBLEMS! I didn't have them without EMS!

Maserati Problem

A Maserati Problem is the kind of problem or issue that your startup company will, presumably, experience some day.

"Some day" being when you're making millions of dollars in revenue, you have 100 employees, and you're driving around in a Maserati.

Calling something a Maserati Problem, then, is akin to saying you probably shouldn't be worrying about it if your closed beta is still 2 months from launching.
Person 1: "What kind of budget do you think we should set for miscellaneous pen and pencil supplies in our supply cabinet, given that a certain number of employees will steal a given amount per month?"

Person 2: "Uh, I think that's a bit of a Maserati Problem."

The most common, if not the only message you will see when linking to Microsoft's "solution pages" after using the error reportingfeature

Example: When my PC couldn't play music due to a "missing audio device error" I linked to this message screen.
So I went looking on message boards for similar issue and found one. The person posted about how Microsoft had nothing.
That forum entry was posted two YEARS before.
Me: Oh cool! I can just link to Microsoft's solution page! How convenient....

This problem was caused by Windows. This program was created by Microsoft Corporation. Microsoft Corporation does not currently have a solution for the problem that you reported.

Me: You've got to be kidding. Oh Cool! Windows has a built-in help program....

Superman problem

Similar to a dues ex machina and power creep, it's a contrivance that gets seen a lot in anime and superhero media where you have a super ridiculously overpowered character who can pretty much destroy hordes of baddies and/or the main antagonist in one go if it came down to it, with nothing that can really put said character in any danger. Therefor it doesn't give other supporting characters much of a chance to shine and overcome any obstacles they personally face since it's done on easy mode just for having this overpowered character with them. Typically creates a lot of plot holes and make any stakes meaningless in the story if handled poorly.
How to solve a Superman problem? Write the character out for some reason in any given situation, or go complete DBZ and keep introducing a baddie who happens to be more powerful than the last baddie before him.
