simples
Traditional medicinal herbs
Simples is a British English exclamation meaning "easy" or "obviously simple," popularized by a television advertisement featuring a meerkat character.
It functions as a one-word declaration that something requires no further explanation: Just click the link and you're done—simples!
The usage is informal and often playful, sometimes carrying a slightly smug or dismissive tone.
