no sweat

Consider it done

No sweat is a casual way of saying something is easy or presents no difficulty: Can you finish by Friday? No sweat.

It also serves as a breezy response to thanks, dismissing the effort involved: Thanks for the ride. No sweat.

The phrase evokes tasks so effortless they don't even make you perspire.
