Disarm
(Two men are talking)
Phil: You think I'm the owner of this place? I just clean the place, that's all.
This information seems to disarm the man a bit.
Is it perfectly normal to use "disarm" in context like this? The other man doesn't have a weapon or anything he has just been acting cold toward Phil because he thought he was a rich idiot.

'disarm' is often used in this figurative sense. It's normal.
