TODAY'S IDIOM: MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING

"MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING"

If you say something is much ado about nothing, you think it's an overreaction to something that shouldn't have caused so much trouble.

Example: Some people make a big fuss about which table they get in a restaurant, but as far as I can see it's much ado about nothing as long as the food's the same.

Mucho alboroto sobre nada.

Example sentences:

• The fight was much ado about nothing. It all started because a guy stepped on someone's foot / La pelea fue mucho alboroto sobre nada. Todo empezó porque un chico pisó el pie de alguien.

• All this arguing is much ado about nothing / Toda esta discusión es mucho alboroto sobre nada.

Additional examples:

•  All this nonsense about status and "losing face" is much ado about nothing as far as I'm concerned.  

• People have been getting very upset about the seating arrangements for the Christmas dinner, but as far as I'm concerned it's all much ado about nothing.
