A question of some of my (Guatemalan) coworkers the other day...

...about an online order that was placed and channeled unchanged to the (Thai) restaurant kitchen, where a customer comment specified "easy on" some ingredient:

In so many words, they asked what "easy on" meant, and how it was related to the word "easy," and I had to tell them that it meant "less" of an ingredient, and it was a euphemism for that, like you act lightly when adding on onions or whatever the heck ingredient it was.
