It reminds me of my teacher in the university who was used to say "and obviously *something* follows". After it would take me couple of hours to figure out why it was obvious

Hehehe. I can relate to that , I've heard and read it many times too. What about: "The proof of [bla bla] is left to the reader as an exercise" - that occured alot in my text books.

(It's a typical situation in math, until you get the point you are more or less in the dark, but when you get it, it really feels obvious afterwards. All teachers really could do with remembering their fumblings in the dark in their early days.)
