banana problem

1. Not knowing where or when to stop.

2. In computer programming, an algorithm with incorrect termination conditions that leads to over repetition

From the story of the kid who said, "I know how to spell 'banana,' I just don't know when to stop."

Examples: The 23rd cup holder in an SUV or software bloated from unneccessary bells and whistles.

Black Swan Problem

A strange and out-of-control hairstyle which has literally taken on a life of its own. Results from too long without having a haircut, characterized by unsettling feeling overcoming bystanders. A Black Swan Problem may or may not have the ability to exercise mind control over the "wearer" and invariably causes a vacant and confused look in the eyes. Although difficult to describe, one is immediately aware when they are in the presence of a Black Swan Problem.

Wow Barge, I realize I haven't seen you in a while, but that is some Black Swan Problem you are rockin.

Jesus, if you know what is good for all of us, you will get that Black Swan Problem tamed before it achieves world domination!

I got mine, what's your problem?

Making sure you got what you need without a concern for others, especially if you are the boss.

Leeza got a nice big ice cream cone in front of the troops working hard digging her shelter. When the troopers looked at her, she scoffed "I got mine, what's your problem?"

somebody else's problem

(n.) a device which allows you to render an object invisible if no one expects it to be there, as seen in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

"An SEP," he said, "is something that we can't see, or don't see, or our brain doesn't let us see, because we think that it's somebody else's problem. That's what SEP means. Somebody Else's Problem. The brain just edits it out, it's like a blind spot. If you look at it directly you won't see it unless you know precisely what it is. Your only hope is to catch it by surprise out of the corner of your eye."
