field problem

US Army slang or term for a field exercise that involves spending at least one night in the field. More frequently heard in the gruntier MOSes like Infantry and Combat Engineers.

"I'm a 45 day 45 night field problem" --Mystikal in Round Out Tha Tank

"Naw man, I can't go out tonight. I have to pack my ruck. We've got an ass-out 2-week field problem starting monday." --Joe

Igon Value Problem

"the Igon Value Problem: when a writer’s education on a topic consists in interviewing an expert, he is apt to offer generalizations that are banal, obtuse or flat wrong" (Steven Pinker, NY Times 11/7/2009).

Pinker coined the term in his review of a Malcolm Gladwell book. Gladwell had quoted an expert speaking about an “igon value” -- the correct term is eigenvalue, a basic concept in linear algebra.

Gladwell's "Blink" is basically a worthless book because of the Igon Value Problem.

My name is Walter Hartwell White. I live at 308 Negra Arroyo Lane, Albuquerque, New Mexico, 87104. This is my confession. If you're watching this tape, I'm probably dead- murdered by my brother-in-law, Hank Schrader.

My name is Walter Hartwell White. I live at 308 Negra Arroyo Lane, Albuquerque, New Mexico, 87104. This is my confession. If you're watching this tape, I'm probably dead- murdered by my brother-in-law, Hank Schrader. Hank has been building a meth empire for over a year now, and using me as his chemist. Shortly after my 50th birthday, he asked that I use my chemistry knowledge to cook methamphetamine, which he would then sell using connections that he made through his career with the DEA. I was... astounded. I... I always thought Hank was a very moral man, and I was particularly vulnerable at the time - something he knew and took advantage of. I was reeling from a cancer diagnosis that was poised to bankrupt my family. Hank took me in on a ride-along and showed me just how much money even a small meth operation could make. And I was weak. I didn't want my family to go into financial ruin, so I agreed. Hank had a partner, a businessman named Gustavo Fring. Hank sold me into servitude to this man.

drinking problem

alcohol is causing problems in your life (for example, with your health, in your work, or with your social responsibilities)

Theo's drinking problem was that he had only one mouth.

What's your problem

Used to suggest a problem in another's mental state. This is a response to an unprovoked statement or inappropriate action. Can also be used in third person.

"What's up Eric?"
"Fuck off Gil, next time I see you I'm gonna beat your ass and give you an Abe Lincoln"
"What's your problem man?"

(Gina finds her brother masturbating on her bed in the nude)
"You couldn't walk down the hall to do that Phil?!?! What's your problem?!?!?"

"Yo Jennifer always flips out every time I try space docking"
"What's her problem?"
