When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

out and about
"If someone is out and about, they have left their home and are getting things done that they need to do."

"out and at different places ...You are "out and about" when you go out of your place and you move about to different places. Example: "Is Bob here today?" Answer: "No, he's not. He's out and about." When you say he is out and about, you are not being specific about where he has gone. Example: "Did you spend much time at your hotel?" Answer: "No we did not. Most of the time we were out and about." Another example: "Where have you been all day?" Answer: "Oh, out and about."

: Given the product (soap or wipes I imagine) and the context, I think here the term means basically 'when you're forced to use a loo/facilities that are not your own (ie the ones at home which present no risk, as they're yours and you know they're clean).
