IT Solution

The common solution for companies when addressing any incoming Tech Call which is to completely restore a system to it's original state with no regard to information previously stored.
I incorrectly installed a driver but when I called tech support they wanted me to recover the entire system and they didn't even attempt to find an alternative solution. Wow, the typical IT Solution hits again..

yes solution

The optimistic version of saying no problem. This term was originally coined by Dylan Schwartz (CEO of Dylan Universe Comics, www.DylanUniverseComics.com)
"I'm sorry sir we can't do that right now because it's peak, but will at 9pm." "Ok, yes solution"
"Thank you." "Yes solution."

Soapy solution

A graduated cylinder and/or beaker cleanser that is basically magic. The name says it all. It is a solution to anything. Get leftover experiment residue on your beaker? Soapy solution can fix that. Drop your beaker and it shatters? Soapy solution can fix that. Burn your beaker to smithereens? Soapy solution can fix that. Soapy solution is to be used responsibly. Using this great power any more than you have to, and soapy solutions can control your life. Soapy solution is a force to be reckoned with.
Ted dropped his glass beaker, but he wasn't worried, because he knew soapy solution could fix it.

Hemingway Solution

To commit suicide via shotgun blast administered beneath the chin or inside the mouth, as mentioned in Stephen King's novel Dreamcatcher. If the shotgun is particularly long the trigger is often pulled by a toe.
Damn it, why did he have to go and use the Hemingway Solution in my room? Now there's brain matter all over my ceiling.

The old guy in 'The Hills Have Eyes' used the Hemingway Solution.

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....

solutioning

A word many business people misuse to describe the process of creating a solution. These people need a grammar lesson and should be fired immediately.
I am an idiot so I will spend my day solutioning a way to deal with my stupidity.
