Pie

Hi there, I have used that phrase a lot and always laugh and add that I don't think that pie making is all that easy! I've wondered about where it came from many-a-time. I think you should include that the full phrase is "as easy as eating pie". That explains it.... Nice work!Gandydancer (talk) 18:10, 2 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I've added in your suggestion. I was surprised to see that Wikipedia has very few idiom articles. I plan on making a number of them this weekend.Smallman12q (talk) 23:33, 3 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Maori "pai", as in "good"

Article: "There are some claims that the phrase originated in the 1920s from the Indigenous New Zealand expression 'pie at' or 'pie on' from the Maori term 'pai' which means 'good' ".

This doesn't explain how you can quantify difficulty by referring to goodness. In my opinion, the article doesn't benefit from mentioning this claim. 92.24.196.223 (talk) 19:53, 30 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
