A slip of the tongue caused it.

Herself was recently faced with one of those Bart Simpson choices: you’re damned if you do, and you’re damned if you don’t. She’d been having a few doubts. A contract had morphed wildly from the initial hire conditions, into one of those Charlie Foxtrot things.

This is obviously done by Sandra Bailey in 2000.

We were discussing the fairly obvious outcome, when I referred to Herself’s contract as “the probject”.

So there’s a useful portmanteau word for you, Gentle Readers.

Problem + Project = Probject.
