zeroth world problem

Problems caused by adopting bleeding edge technology for common, daily use before it's reliable, such that the technology's imperfections complicate your life. Loosely, problems that most people living in a wealthy, industrialized nation would probably roll their eyes at.

"So anyway, my Twitch stream went down during my peak viewing hours because the beta drivers for my graphics card apparently break the HDCP chain-of-trust, so the video capture software thought I was stealing copyrighted content from myself, and..."
"Man, every week you have one of these stories. You're like a glutton for zeroth world problems."

fake world problem

The kind of situations that are invented to add more drama to real world problems that are on the surface ridiculous when compared to even First World Problems.

"Can you believe I had to drive back home to bring my son his dress clothes for Wednesday mass at school because they don't let children wear shorts on that day? Even though they can on Sundays?"

Damn girl, that isn't even a first world problem -- it's a "fake world problem"

First World problems

First world problems-When you already have a substantial amount of what you Need , yet you complain about the quailty and the type you Want.

"My daddy bought me a car today !!!! . It's not the Mercedes I really wanted but at least it's something :-//// " #first world problems

white girl problems

Problems that only stereotypical middle to upper class white girls seem to encounter. To the untrained eye these problems might seem like a symptom of being spoiled, ungrateful, and overly obsessed with superficial appearances and material possessions. The truth is though life is like really hard.

Igon Value Problem

"the Igon Value Problem: when a writer’s education on a topic consists in interviewing an expert, he is apt to offer generalizations that are banal, obtuse or flat wrong" (Steven Pinker, NY Times 11/7/2009).

Pinker coined the term in his review of a Malcolm Gladwell book. Gladwell had quoted an expert speaking about an “igon value” -- the correct term is eigenvalue, a basic concept in linear algebra.

Gladwell's "Blink" is basically a worthless book because of the Igon Value Problem.
