A Maserati Problem is the kind of problem or issue that your startup company will, presumably, experience some day.
"Some day" being when you're making millions of dollars in revenue, you have 100 employees, and you're driving around in a Maserati.
Calling something a Maserati Problem, then, is akin to saying you probably shouldn't be worrying about it if your closed beta is still 2 months from launching.
Person 1: "What kind of budget do you think we should set for miscellaneous pen and pencil supplies in our supply cabinet, given that a certain number of employees will steal a given amount per month?"
Person 2: "Uh, I think that's a bit of a Maserati Problem."
While our lifespan is the number of years we will live, our healthspan is the number of healthy years we will have and our sexspan is is the number of years we will continue to be healthy enough to continue having an active sex life.
A lighthearted reaction upon receiving disappointing news of some sort. Usually something that isn't a particularly a big deal, esp. when it primarily affects someone else - sort of a mild schadenfreude.

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.
For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
