The phrase "it's not brain surgery" is actually pretty simple! 🧐 It's an idiom that means the task at hand isn't as complicated as it seems. It's often used to describe something that is considered easy or straightforward. The phrase draws a comparison to brain surgery, a task that requires extensive training and precision, thus being perceived as enormously difficult.
But when we say, "come on, it's not brain surgery," we are essentially telling someone that the task shouldn't be so daunting. 🧠 It's like saying "you're overthinking this" or "this isn't as complex as you're making it out to be." It's a friendly prod to alleviate the stress and anxiety surrounding a situation or task.
So next time you hear this phrase, remember it's a reminder to take it easy and not overcomplicate things. It's a way of saying, "relax, you got this!" 😉
