IOTD: easy does it




EASY DOES IT


"Easy does it" is an idiom meaning to do something slowly and carefully, emphasizing a gentle approach, especially when dealing with fragile or awkward objects or situations. It's not about calming someone down, but rather instructing them to proceed with caution



EXAMPLES


"Easy does it, that vase is fragile!"

"Easy does it, slow down on the motorbike!"



HISTORY


The phrase's origin is somewhat unclear, but it's likely a colloquial expression that has evolved over time to convey the message of caution and gentleness.
