That sounds like a you problem

A sentence coined by Nirthya, it is a dismissal used when someone is complaining too much about someone or a situation and you know there is no real problem with said person or situation so you say this to shut them down.

Person A: "I hate the fact that Jeremy slept with Stevie, like what the actual fuck is wrong with him?"

You: "Okay but what's wrong with Stevie?"

Person A: "I don't know, but I don't like him."

You: "Huh, that sounds like a you problem."

Double Secret Probation

In American colleges, it is the act of being put on academic probation for a second consecutive term, with the possibility of being dismissed if one's GPA is not brought up after the second term. It's called "secret" because the person in question does not want people to know that they are at risk of being dismissed and should be studying instead of doing keg stands.

Originally used in the 1978 American college classic film "Animal House," dean Wormer puts the rowdy Delta Tau Chi fraternity on a "double secret probation," since the Delta House is already on probation. The term has since evolved to mean the act of being on probation while still partying on a regular basis.

Brosef: Let's get those girls from the swimming team over and play some beer pong with them.

Broham: Dude, aren't you on double secret probation?

Brosef: Yeah, whatever. Let's just get drunk with these chicks tonight!

What the fuck is your problem?

not my problem

A phrase indicating that one doesn’t care about someone’s problem, and feels no responsibility to help fix it. Often used to disguise the fact that while it’s not your problem, it *is* your *fault*.

example 1 (disguising fault):
“Your slanderous article has ruined my good name! I demand that you retract it.”
“Not my problem.”

example 2 (not one’s fault):
Right as I was leaving the building after quitting my sysadmin job, I heard the servers go down again. I didn’t turn back. It was not my problem any more.

problem saturation

Anything the media/government uses to blow out of proportion and strike fear into people.

Also see:
Swine Flu, Anthrax, Mad Cow, Cuba, Marijuana, Sars, Terrorism, Global Warming, Fuel crisis, etc. etc.

Hey James, did you hear about the swine flu epidemic that's going around? I feel pretty sick I think I might have it.

Dude, that's a typical effect of problem saturation. You're fine.
