One point lesson

Big deal!


"Big deal" can be used to talk about something which had been exaggerated or that we don't think is so important.


For example: Your friend tells you they just got a new phone, but you are not really impressed. You reply, "Big deal, it's just a phone...."


Or, your friend surprises you for your birthday with a huge cake and party with 50 friends. They made a "big deal" of your birthday. (You think they did too much for this event.)

Hello! thank you for one point lesson.
I'm always looking forward to geting it.

I think ' Big deal' is two meanings.
For example, She is a big deal in my company.( I've thought she is a important person.)
But, according your explaning,'Big deal ' uses sarcastic meaning.
Please teach me which meaning is more common.

Hi Keiko,

Thanks for your comment. Actually, I think your example is slightly sarcastic. Using it in this way can offer the nuance of "too big". To make a positive comment about someone like this we might say they are a "key player" or "golden girl/boy", or even "poster girl/boy". Often if we overstate or exaggerate it carries a sarcastic nuance.

Happy birthday, David-san !
Your birthday, May 17th, happens to be the same as Hiroshi Kisanuki.
(He is a starting pitcher of today's FIGTERS game.)

It's not a big deal?
