JREF Forum Cookbook

Product Information

Apart from tis one, there is another big English-language skeptic forum that I think you have heard of, the former JREF forum, now the ISF forum. a b http://www.guidestar.org/FinDocuments/2012/650/649/2012-650649443-0924dfee-9.pdf [ bare URL PDF] Other than that though, I never found myself moved to join or participate in their discussions and didnt think much of the discourse in general (I thought their american gun thread was pretty poor tbh while I think the one here is probably the best I have ever seen in terms of actual discussion). The JREF Award "is given to the person or organization that best represents the spirit of the foundation by encouraging critical questions and seeking unbiased, fact-based answers." Some of the recipients include the following:

[21] It has not been active since August 2012. In November 2015, Harriet Hall produced a series of ten lectures called Science Based Medicine for the JREF. The videos deal with various complementary alternative medicine subjects including homeopathy, chiropractic, acupuncture and more.

It's just a phrase that means something--usually assumed to be very difficult--was or will be easy. The ideal situation for its use is talking about something simple that produces a big result. I've heard it used probably once or twice in real life and probably a couple of times in movies and TV, but it's an older phrase that's not used nowadays; I've never used it. If you as a Japanese person used it, it might lose some of its meaning and be funnier than you intended.

Please forgive my spelling. I have no idea about how to spell this phrase correctly. I heard someone say this on a TV show and I wanted to know: Is it a common phrase used in English speaking countries? Why do you use this phrase? Does it just mean something is "very easy" or is there other meaning?
