Easy as scat

[JPablo]

Meaning "very easy"... I guess "a cinch" .

Any Spanish options?
:thinking:
Facilísimo. :rolleyes:
Muy fácil.
Sumamente fácil.
Chupa'o. (Chupado)
Pan comido. :)

Any other ideas?

(BTW, what sense of 'scat' applies here?)

[Perikles]

I've never heard the expression. The only scat I know is a German card game which is not easy.

I don't think I've heard the phrase either but scat is also the nonsense syllables jazz singers use when improvising during a performance or it can also mean to leave quickly.

It's also a term for feces.

I forgot about that one :lol:

It's also a term for feces.

Sometimes that's not so easy. :(

[Perikles]

It's also a term for feces.Now that's interesting. The word I have is scoria, from σκωρ, dung, which has a genitive σκατος, from which we have scatology and the like. But I've never heard scat. :thinking:

I'm sure you've seen it and smelled it:yuck:It isn't very common but I have heard it I also have heard scatá which is a commonly heard among Greek Americans and their associates.

The BNC gives 28 hits on scat as animal droppings, so it is rare, but does indeed exist. You live and learn. :)

[LibraryLady]

I've only heard it used in reference to wild animals. If you were tracking an animal you may look for scat as evidence of it having passed through that area.

[JPablo]

Wow. Amazing. (Only found 5 examples in google, when I thought it was a "common" "known" "run-of-the-mill" cliché...)

Even if cocktails keep their prewar prices, the liquor is bound to fluctuate in quality, and it is easy as scat to pile up astonishing bills in one or two ... [from "How to cook a wolf" :rolleyes:]

[...] we could throw him off the track as easy as scat," said Hazel meditatively.

[LibraryLady]

easy as sh*t yields 433, 000 hits so maybe it's just been modernized :yuck:

[JPablo]

Oh, wow! Everything is in place now... scatological, but true. (Thank you all... and specially LibraryLady for that authoritative punch line!) (And the plead for modernity! :D) Noo sh***t! :lol: :lol: :lol:

I guess I should properly say, in this context, "everything falls into place now" (And if one is civilized enough, just have to flush it...) :o

Well... I hesitate to mention it, but I've heard it in reference to... um... something else... on the Internet...

I've never heard "easy as scat", although I have heard "scat trail" which would be a trail of animal droppings. And I know you asked for translations in Spanish, but since I don't know the original phrase you asked about, I'll give you a common one (at least my father always said it): "it's as easy as falling off a log". Or another really common one: "it's as easy as pie". :D

Edit: As for translations, I agree with your "es pan comido" or even "es cosa de nada".

¡Thank you, Davidísimo! :)
