Dr. Tsai on English Word


n. Something so simple or easy as to require no thought

Explanation:

We use our brain to tackle down hard problems. In contrast, we dub
a problem as a NO-BRAINER. when it's too easy so that we don't even need to use our brain to solve it.

Example sentenece:

Lance is an idiot: He always brainstorms on no-brainers.

Anecdote:

It's kind of embarrassing how I encountered this word. It's in a replied mail from my professor: Lance, the question you asked is actually a no-brainer. (Alas)
