What is Cheers Easy?
1.
a bit like 'thanks for nothing'

2.
A term used in the British Royal Navy and Royal Marines.
It means that you are deliberately taking someone for granted in a way that negates their gesture (a very disrespectful thank you). It comes from suggesting that someone is 'easy' (i.e. easily taken advantage of)
