Before learning the origin of the term “cakewalk,” I assumed it had come from something to do with the actual dessert. Since it indicates something effortless and often rewarding, I thought maybe it was the slow way one would savor a good piece of cake or walking carefully with a beautifully decorated cake, so you don’t drop it. Now that I know it involved rigorous dancing – not to mention, of course, sweating through heavy woolen clothes – I’m not entirely sure the phrase is accurate.
Analyzing matchups in your fantasy leagues and DFS lineups is also never “as easy as pie” -- no matter what anyone says.
