Problemic

A word that I swear used to exist in and before the aughts, especially in academic literature, but there is no evidence online, aside from some academic articles. Another Berenstain/ Berenstain Bears phenomenon.

Notably, the date of the invention of the "word problematic" keeps changing. However, it was invented in the sixties. In the late 1800s, problematical was a more common pseudoword than problematic. Word usage history charts may change after posting this definition.

difference between attacking people and problems

in our modern soc-med oriented world, a very important moral quality that you absolutely cannot, and will never be able to, buy at the local Walmart or dollar store
the main reason the 2016 us presidential campaign rhetoric was so vitriolic and insidious is that both presidential nominees don\t know the difference between attacking people and problems.

The Puppy Problem

When one is so excited about things that they become overwhelmed and are unable to do the very things they are excited about. Like when a puppy plays so much it exhausts itself to the brink of unconsciousness. This kind of overwhelm is often mistaken for anxiety, but it is in fact The Puppy Problem.
Person 1: Is something wrong with Tim? I just saw him trying to talk to this cute girl and he was physically shaking and stuttering his words and then he just left mid-sentence.

Person 2: Nah man he's just excited. Apparently it's called the puppy problem. Just give him some space and he'll be fine.
