    Oh my god, I’ve just watched that video… How can that exist ? It’s so, so wrong.

    They have their own lingo. You can’t say the word “problem”.

    A thing that I’ve noticed where I live (France) is that many journalists tend to say “défi” (= challenge) as a euphemism for “problème” (= problem). For example, in a newspaper article, they’ll often talk of the “challenge” of climate change, or the “challenge” of overtourism, or the “challenge” of an ageing population, rather than calling these things problems. It’s infuriating.
