People tend to be confused by the mathematical usage of "simple" and "trivial", assuming they mean "easy."
They don't.
"Trivial", for a proof, can mean a few things.
>It is easy
>That the premises P "trivially" imply the result, because the result Q is always true regardless of the premises (proving that Q is always true, however, may be very much not easy)
>That the proof requires no fundamentally new techniques or mathematical innovations to construct (which also doesn't mean it's easy).

When used by mathematicians, it means "able to be solved", regardless of how many notebooks you need fill up with calculations in order to find the solution.

Not when used right. Frankly, I would never said "the proof is quite trivial" because it's pretty rude and counterproductive to anyone involved, but I've seen it used justifiably before.
