This is how much I hate buzzwords

I came across the phrase "final solution" in my social sciences paper comparing Adam Smith and Emile Durkheim. I knew I couldn't have this, so I crossed out "solution" and wrote "answer."

No. Can't have that either.

So now I had a problem on my hands. Which phrase should I use? The one from that TV show? Or the one that refers to Hitler's plan to exterminate an entire race?

Not an easy decision.

Finally, at the detriment of the sentence, I crossed out "final" and just left it at "answer." It'll have to do. Unfortunately, there is no acceptable alternative.

That's a Borat thing. He goes to a karate school and he asks the guy how to block the Jewclaw.
