Mickey Mouse problem

An example that illustrates a solution but is not actually accuate or proof of the theory.
"2 x 2 = 4 and 2 + 2 = 4, therefore multiplication is the same thing as addition."

Even though 2 x2 DOES equal 4, it is a solution that just happens to fit but is not proof that multiplication is the same thing as addition, since multiplying two values usually results in a figure much different than adding those two values (such as 2 x 20 = 40, but 2 + 20 = 22).

Usage: "No sorry, that doesn't prove anything. That's just a Mickey Mouse problem."

black girl problems

Problems that only lower to middle class black girls encounter. To the untrained eye these might seem like the product of entitlement issues, having a chip on your shoulder, or the stress of realizing what obama care actually means.

boat problems

The easiest type of problems on the New York State Regents Exam for physics. You use vectors to determine how fast a boat will go in a certain direction based on the velocity of the boat and the velocity of the current. If vectors are 90 degrees to each other, you use Pythagorean's theorem and viola, you have your answer. QED
He hoped that they would have boat problems on the AP Physics examination, unfortunately, they didn't.

three-scallop problem

A problem whose solution is very obvious to everyone else, but which for some reason they refuse to divulge to someone who needs to find these things out. From the movie Demolition Man, starring Wesley Snipes and Sylvester Stallone, where in a future world of perfect primness no-one has the nerve to explain to Stallone's defrosted cop the purpose of the three seashell-shaped markings in every toilet.
