Make a song and dance about 小题大做
    2019-02-21  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

A: How was your vacation?

B: Everything was good until I returned from the trip. They lost my luggage at the airport and I had to wait two hours before they finally retrieved it.

A: Unbelievable! You should make a song and dance about this and get a proper apology.

Note: A song and dance is a theatrical performance combining singing and dancing. This idiom, often used in the United Kingdom, means “to exaggerate or build up the importance of something more than necessary, usually used in the negative.” If someone makes a song and dance about something, they react in a very anxious, excited, or angry way to something that is not that important.
