COMMON in US and UK?

Dear Teachers,

1. If it's just a small nuisance, then don't make a big deal out of it.

- What does "don't make a big deal out of it" mean?

2. Is the word "gigolo" still common in the US and the UK?

Thanks a lot to Teachers,

Stevenukd.

I believe it can be heard quite frequently in some American movies of the 1940's. (Don't ask me which.)
