Rocket science

A corporate euphemism for "not that hard" that makes simple tasks sound like they require advanced degrees, usually used by people who can't actually do the simple task.

Examples

Examples: - "This isn't rocket science." (this isn't that hard, but I can't do it) - "We need rocket science for this." (we need to overcomplicate this simple thing) - "Rocket science would be easier." (this simple task is somehow harder than rocket science)
