make a big deal out of something
treat something as especially important
To make a big deal out of something means to give it a lot of attention or treat it as especially important, sometimes more than it deserves.
Hear it in real life
Sorry I forgot your name.
Don't make a big deal out of it; we've only just met.
I made a small mistake, but my manager did not make a big deal out of it.
The mistake everyone makes
Not: She made a big deal out from my small mistake.
Say: She made a big deal out of my small mistake.
The phrase uses “out of” together; “out from” does not express treating something as important.
