I keep hearing "OPPORTUNITY" being used to describe "PROBLEM"

Houston, we have an "opportunity"

Agreed. Not sure why “increasing sales” needed to be renamed “growth algorithm” by some companies.

It's used constantly without adding value. For example, a doctor is being interviewed and says "From a medical perspective...". Does he need to say that? Just answer the question.

#2 is "Leadership".
And "leadership" is overused in an attempt to cast management as something different and less ordinary. Leadership has vision, ideas, and changes the way we frame things. Leadership solves problems nobody had even realised we had. Management obediently performs administrative functions and patiently waits for a fire to break out so they can come running in with a fire extinguisher of the wrong type.

An insecure person with pedestrian or mediocre ideas will often be tempted to try to elevate the ideas to greatness by giving them fancy names. It's non-castrated male bovine excrement.

"Unprecedented"

It's gotten to the point I turn off the radio when they say it. You're a journalist, use a fucking thesaurus!
