uni says stop saying cake is easy, accidentally creates meme

A Facebook post from a satirical page showing a viral story about Cardiff University's EDI module discouraging common British idioms. The post features images of a slice of cake to mock the absurdity of avoiding the phrase "piece of cake." It juxtaposes the university's stated reasoning (preventing confusion for international audiences) with the ridiculous visual humor of the cake imagery.

Hot Takes Nobody Asked For
Cardiff University advised students in an equality, diversity and inclusion module to avoid idioms such as "a piece of cake" and "kill two birds with one stone," saying they are very British and may confuse international audiences.
The guidance also discouraged phrases like "the blind leading the blind," "slave driver," and "man up," arguing they stem from ableism, racism, or sexism. Free speech advocates criticized the advice as language policing, while the university said most students rated the module positively and that it promotes inclusion.
Don't say 'piece of cake' because it's too British, university claims
