light work
No heavy lifting
Light work refers to tasks requiring minimal effort or skill, easily accomplished without strain.
In slang, especially online and in sports contexts, it describes something handled with ease—a decisive victory or simple accomplishment: That exam was light work, We beat them 40-0, light work.
The phrase often carries a tone of dismissive confidence.
