What I hear in the UK, is mostly the first part of this line: easy peasy

As far as I am told, the line is a catchphrase used decades ago in a TV commercial for washing-up liquid (with a lemony flavouring of course and in a squeezy bottle).

I've been hearing the full idiom quite a lot, although "easy peasy" is probably more common.

There is this film, "In the loop", where someone is awkwardly trying to use this idiom for a difficult situation: Difficult difficult lemon difficult.

That sounds weirdly entertaining.
