For many lectures, section starts this week, and many seminars meet for the first time.  That means that everything you discuss will in some way be “problematic.”  Here are some synonyms to one-up the section asshole and really get your TA to put a tally mark next to your name:

• “iffy”
• “worth reconsidering”
• “in need of more attention”
• “unclear”
• “totally fucked up”
• “perplexing”
• “a touchy subject”
• “utter bullshit”
• “fishy”
• “ambiguous”
• “I got a fuckin’ problem”

As in, “I find the upsurge in media attention Miley Cyrus is receiving to be ________.”
