"First world problem" có từ first world là các quốc gia phát triển, người dân có đời sống cao -> cụm từ này nghĩa là những vấn đề nhỏ nhặt/không quan trọng khi so sánh với những vấn đề nghiêm trọng ở các quốc gia nghèo hơn.

Ví dụ

I have let the vegetable garden totally get away from me. I cannot even keep up with the picking. I know – this is a first world problem and I hesitate (do dự) to even mention it!

Maybe you are thinking, Ed, your experience is a first-world problem. You are right; many people have much more significant challenges than I’ve ever had. Understand the principle. We all need mental toughness (sức mạnh), especially if you’re facing a much bigger Malfunction than I ever experienced.

Let's call this a first-world problem: the Milwaukee Bucks are too good to use their best lineups (đội hình). Their base rotations have been so great all year long that they just haven't felt the need to do much experimenting. There's no difference between winning by 20 and winning by 30.
