المعنى
Making a big deal out of something unimportant.
خلفية ثقافية
The phrase is deeply tied to the 19th-century 'Language Reform' (Nyelvújítás), where translators like the Arany family worked to create a sophisticated Hungarian vocabulary for world literature. As the origin of the phrase, Shakespeare's play is often studied in Hungarian schools, making the idiom part of the 'shared cultural minimum' for Hungarians. In the age of 'clickbait' and 'viral outrage', this phrase is frequently used by Hungarian commenters to dismiss overblown social media drama. Hungarians value efficiency and can be quite direct. Using this phrase in a meeting can be a way to signal that the discussion has become unproductive.
Use 'Csak'
Adding 'csak' (only) before the phrase makes it sound much more natural and dismissive: 'Ez csak sok hűhó semmiért.'
Don't be too rude
If someone is crying, saying this might make them feel like you don't care about their feelings.
