Thanks to simbosan for the idea

This and "it's not a problem, it's a CHALLENGE."No, it's a problem. Problems have solutions. What do challenges have? Fights. I don't want to get in a fight with my computer. It will only end in tears. Besides, my computer doesn't even have a glove to slap me in the face with.

ChallengeDrives me mad. The only reason people use this word in conversation is when there's likely to be a financial impact from the outcome, and to avoid startling the client. It's a sneaky way of highlighting that the shit is about to hit the fan on record, but not to draw inordinate attention to it.
Invariably the client gets royally shafted due to some huge oversight and everyone dancing around the problem like fairies. But it's ok - we highlighted these challenges earlier.
