Big deal

http://www.eslmania.com/students/idioms/Everyday_idioms.htm

Big deal! - So what? That doesn't really matter.

Example 1: You won five dollars in the lottery? Big deal!

Example 2: Your father has a job with a big company in New York City? Big deal!

It's very rude to say Big deal!, isn't it?

, isn't it? Yes, and it's an expression that is somewhat dated. People used to use that 30 to 40 years ago, but you seldom hear it these days.

I don't think it's that dated, as compared to something like Button your lip! I hear Big deal every now and then.

I must be out of the "big deal" circuit. I haven't heard it for years and years. Emotion: smile
