A horrible song sung by this duo called Double Take. Their song is about them being these hot girls and saying what problems they have, but they're not even hot! They look like feral cats! The music video is CHEAP. The only thing that costed money was the limousine, or was it a backdrop? Anyway, whenever they had a driving scene, they mirrored it every time they had a driving scene. The chorus sounds like shit, too.
Hot Problems sucks. It's on YouTube, search if you want earrape.

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."

Similar to a dues ex machina and power creep, it's a contrivance that gets seen a lot in anime and superhero media where you have a super ridiculously overpowered character who can pretty much destroy hordes of baddies and/or the main antagonist in one go if it came down to it, with nothing that can really put said character in any danger. Therefor it doesn't give other supporting characters much of a chance to shine and overcome any obstacles they personally face since it's done on easy mode just for having this overpowered character with them. Typically creates a lot of plot holes and make any stakes meaningless in the story if handled poorly.
How to solve a Superman problem? Write the character out for some reason in any given situation, or go complete DBZ and keep introducing a baddie who happens to be more powerful than the last baddie before him.
A trivial, middle-class grievance.

A process by which Mainstream Media addresses an issue incessantly, building up to a sense of pending doom. Of course, the problem, while worrisome, does not pose the grave threat they would like you to believe. Finally, MSM abandons coverage of the problem completely, moving on to another problem.
"Honey, why don't we hear any news about the drug cartels anymore?"
"That was last month's problem saturation, dear."

Taken from the John Ritter movie by same name. Used to describe any child, employee, sibling, or friend that is constantly getting into trouble but you are somewhat obligated to care for or help.
Also a street name for someone who gets into trouble all the time.
