solutioneering

Working on the technical details of a solution with an insufficient grasp of the problem it's trying to solve. Can occur when engineers are exploring cool technology for its own sake or when requirements are unclear.

Hmm, does anyone really need to control their toaster from their smartphone or are we just solutioneering here?

solutionizing

The act of coming up with a solution to a problem, or perceived problem, when all one wants really is an empathetic ear.

I was trying to tell her about what was going on at work and she kept solutionizing in stead of just listening.

solutioneering

A condescending buzz word used when someone disagrees with someone else's solution to a problem, and by using this word they call into question the method used to solve the problem instead of offering any truly useful input. This term is quite often used in situations where someone is trying to stop someone else from being productive.

Person 1: "I've just about had it with Bob's solutioneering. He always pitches answers to problems without defining the problem."
Person 2: "Well, do you have any better ideas on how to solve the problem?"
Person 1: "ummmmm...."

Sorry guys I know I'm solutioning, but I'm a total armchair solutionizer
