“No sweat”in other languages
No problem; that's easy.
English
French
Swedish
Same idea, different pictures
English began as American military slang: nothing worth sweating over. French says there's no lizard, y a pas de lézard, and nobody has settled why.
Swedish says there's no cow on the ice, ingen ko på isen, the short form of “no cow on the ice as long as its rear end is on land”: no danger yet.
