Vocabulary

so much

Hello ,

I'd like to know if there are other ways to say that something is not so impressive as your friend is saying . Could the sentence 'that is not so much' or maybe 'it is not that much'. Is there any idiom to convey these kind of answers?

Thanks,

Possible idioms: To “take something with a grain of salt” is to view a statement with a skeptical attitude. It's dismissive, really. 'Begs the question' is to view a statement as creating another question.
