snap and breeze

[Isbell]

1. Nothing to it. It’s a snap. (I understand that this sounds pretty natural, doesn’t it?) But can I also say it this way (It’s a breeze)?

2. How do you, native speakers, define the phrase ‘Ignorant westerner’?

1. Yes, you can say, ‘It’s a breeze’.

2. I’m not sure I understand what you want to know about this. Grammatically it’s a phrase. Semantically, it’s an opinion. It could also be called a stereotype or a generalisation if used in a general way.

What I mean to say is, what does this ‘ignorant’ mean anyway?
