conandrum

Named for the one and only Conan the Barbarian, this is a problem that has an immediately obvious solution, yet is more easily (or at least more entertainingly) solved by violence.

1: We've got two options here. We can either skim through this book until we find the reference needed to complete the riddle, or we can slaughter the wizard and his evil henchmen and waltz right through.

2: So we've got one option.

1: A real conandrum. Let's go.

Woot Conundrum

The time of night when you can't decide if it would be worth it to go to bed or to stay up to see the next day's woot.

Dude #1: Aren't you going to bed yet? It's late and you have a 8am final tomorrow.
Dude #2: Na, I'm waiting for the woot to change!
Dude #1: Gawd, not the dreaded woot conundrum.

Sweaty Man Conundrum

When you are inside wearing a jacket and you get so sweaty that you can't take your jacket off, because then you'll reveal just how wet your clothes are under the jacket.

Mate, yesterday I was in a meeting and I was wearing a jacket. Before I knew it I experienced the Sweaty Man Conundrum, my T-shirt was soaking wet so I had to leave the jacket on for 2 hours.

Toy Story Conundrum

The Toy Story Conundrum says just because some scenario take place when you are not noticing, does not mean it does not happen at all, like the Toys being alive cannot be disputed because they are active when you aren't watching.

Of course, there are other applications of the phrase too,

C : "I don't usually kill spiders because they kill the other insects. It's like they work for me but I need them to stay in certain areas of the house."
A : "But why? they create invisible webs and are a pest, so I guess it's best to kill"
C : "I don't know if we do or if the spider gets them before I notice."
A: "Fair point, it's the toy story conundrum"

Conundumb

The realization that you’re not getting any smarter. Those around you are just getting dumber.

You know, I was thinking about all these people around me the other day and I had a conundumb. When friends are talking about how people getting dumber, you answer "That's a conundumb"
