    “A Drop in the Bucket”

    DEFINITION:

    The idiom “a drop in the bucket” means that something is so


    small that it doesn’t matter much, doesn’t make much of a
    difference in the whole scheme of things.

    EXAMPLE: When you are fretting1 about a small problem, think


    about all of the people in the world who are going through
    much worse. Your problem will seem like a drop in the bucket
    compared to the rest of the world.
