Sentence Usage
Hello,
I recently heard a few native speakers using "clear as?" , "easy as?" etc.. I am not sure if the 2nd word is really "as" but I am sure it sounded like it.. Is there usage like that? All the people I heard speak that were Australians, so it is something Australian? Or, did I just hear it wrong?
Thanks,
Prasanna

sarnga1157I recently heard a few native speakers using "clear as?" , "easy as?" etc..And these native speakers just ended their remarks there? No additional words? Like this:
That was clear as.
I tried it, and it's easy as.
Or were the two words the whole remark?
- You tried it? How did you find it?
- Easy as.
