Dunning, Brian (2013-07-23). "Skeptoid #372: Prove Your Supernatural Power and Get Rich". Skeptoid . Retrieved 2014-01-04. It's just a phrase that means something--usually assumed to be very difficult--was or will be easy. The ideal situation for its use is talking about something simple that produces a big result. I've heard it used probably once or twice in real life and probably a couple of times in movies and TV, but it's an older phrase that's not used nowadays; I've never used it. If you as a Japanese person used it, it might lose some of its meaning and be funnier than you intended.

Retrieved 2013-07-02.It's a shithole, full of people who range from just JAQing off to out and out racists, as opposed to our one or two concern trolls who never have an opinion of their own to offer that we get here. You know. Like you. Please forgive my spelling. I have no idea about how to spell this phrase correctly. I heard someone say this on a TV show and I wanted to know: Is it a common phrase used in English speaking countries? Why do you use this phrase? Does it just mean something is "very easy" or is there other meaning? These kind of things show the strange fascination that kids have with asia - it is very different from us so it must be bad or wrong. Stupid, I know.

Apart from tis one, there is another big English-language skeptic forum that I think you have heard of, the former JREF forum, now the ISF forum. in england (though hardly anyone says it), a phrase i have heard, and probably said dozens of times, is My mum is chinese, my dad is Japanese, look at the state of me (when chinese is said, the corners of the eyes are pulled up, when japanese is said, pulled up, and when 'me' is said, one eye is pulled down and the other up.

The JREF Award "is given to the person or organization that best represents the spirit of the foundation by encouraging critical questions and seeking unbiased, fact-based answers." Some of the recipients include the following: From 2003 to 2015, the JREF annually hosted The Amaz!ng Meeting, a gathering of scientists, skeptics, and atheists. Perennial speakers include Richard Dawkins, Penn & Teller, Phil Plait, Michael Shermer and Adam Savage. an independent entity with no affiliation with or endorsement by the JREF, including the section in reference to "JREF" topics. In 2008 the astronomer Philip Plait became the new president of the JREF and Randi its board chairman. [14] In December 2009 Plait left the JREF due to involvement in a television project, and D.J. Grothe assumed the position of president on January 1, 2010, [15] holding the position until his departure from the JREF was announced on September 1, 2014. [11] This forum is smaller and therefore better suited to what I want. I can get a sense for who people are. Granted sometime they change their forum handles and I get really confused (you know who you are... even if I don't anymore), but we have some people who are active in spurts (SQ the enigma or NeutralMilk for example), and yet have been here long enough that you know who they are when they grace us with their presence. Then there are somewhere around 30 posters who are here reliably pretty much every week in some form, each with their own posting styles, personalities, and interests. It's small enough that I feel like reputation matters a bit. You have to actually be concerned that what you say in one thread will be remembered and held against you if you contradict yourself elsewhere. There's a size which just makes even frequent posters fairly anonymous or reduces all people to caricatures or stereotypes because you can't keep them straight. I just got the sense that the community was too big to really have the feel of a community that I like.

in England (though hardly anyone says it), a phrase I have heard, and probably said dozens of times, is The JREF also produced a regular video cast and YouTube show, The Randi Show, in which former JREF outreach coordinator Brian Thompson interviewed Randi on a variety of skeptical topics, often with lighthearted or comedic commentary. [21] It has not been active since August 2012. In November 2015, Harriet Hall produced a series of ten lectures called Science Based Medicine for the JREF. The videos deal with various complementary alternative medicine subjects including homeopathy, chiropractic, acupuncture and more. [22]
