Tool-Problem Ratio ("TPR") 

Also known as the Aargh Quotient, the Tool-Problem Ratio (“TPR”) is a DIY term expressing the relationship between a physical problem to be fixed and the tool available for the task. A 1:1 ratio reflects that the tool is perfect for the job -- e.g., when a nail clipper is available to trim a toenail, the TPR is 1:1. Ratios of greater than 1:1 indicate that the tool available is excessive relative to the job: a chainsaw generates a ratio of, say, 200:1 for toenail trimming. Ratios of less than 1:1 indicate that the tool at hand is inadequate for the task: a toenail clipper produces a ratio of, say, 1:1000 for cutting down a Christmas tree. Depending on the TPR, responsive behaviors may range from mild (swearing, sighing disgustedly), to driving to the hardware store, to breaking the workpiece or the tool violently.

Faced with a Tool-Problem Ratio ("TPR") of about 1:10 when his flat-blade screwdriver was too big to loosen the Phillips-head screw on his range vent, Bob intoned “Jesus H. Christ” under his breath and motored off to Home Depot.

Chicken-egg Problem 

A reference to the classic, epistemological problem of determining the (efficient) cause and a corresponding product amongst entities that could be argued to fill either, opposing roles.

Used more colloquially to laugh off an impasse in which the solution to a problem cannot feasibly be made to precede and solve that problem until said problem is already solved. Really, it can be downright abused on any pickle, dilemma or conundrum.

“The interview is tomorrow but I’m still naked, broke and nobody will loan me money. If only I had a job so I could buy a suit. It’s a real chicken-egg problem.”
“Christian used this turn of phrase word for word in college back in 2007. But it’s been heard in use lately. Where’d it actually come from? Gaaaaw-lee, what a chicken-egg problem.”
