| No big deal means 'not important'. 'A big deal' is something important. I'm only five minutes late - don't make a big deal out of it. Ed's party is going to be a really big deal. Everyone's going. I lost my book, but it's no big deal - I'll buy a new one. You can also say 'big deal' in a sarcastic way to show that you think something isn't very good, important or interesting. I got a 'b' in my test. Big deal! Who cares? Hope this helps, Brian |
