This is a question Annoying words and phrases

Marketing bollocks, buzzword bingo, or your mum saying "fudge" when she really wants to swear like a trooper. Let's ride the hockey stick curve of this top hat product, solutioneers.

Thanks to simbosan for the idea

Brilliant
You know I don’t like using the word “problem” at work. There is a subset of people who focus on problems. And when they find a problem they stop …because they’ve got a problem.

In meetings all they do is, say stuff like “No, that won’t work because...” Then sit back, arms folded, basking in the warmth of their own superiority, proved by shooting down the other persons suggestion. These fucks hardly ever volunteer their own solutions.

So when we’re looking for a solution I do prefer the term “challenge” for those areas we haven’t completed yet, it just helps deflect the problem weasels from latching onto it as an excuse to not deliver.

So yes Solution Oportunity is wanky and “problem” is a perfectly serviceable word, but every time Solution Oportunity is used it will remind those that need reminding that there are always solutions to a problem, and they are paid money to identify those fucking solutions not fabricate reasons why things are impossible.
