The mathematical equivalent of sweeping dirt under the rug! Every math student has experienced that moment of existential dread when the professor skips 17 critical steps with "it is clear that" — leaving you questioning your entire academic career. Those four words are basically mathematical sleight of hand, concealing what's probably a 3-page proof that nobody wants to write on the board. The real unsolved problem? Finding the courage to raise your hand and admit nothing is clear to you whatsoever.
