meaning of "it's been blown out of proportion."

Question

Answer

Hi Chi

This phrase is often used to describe how something has been given much more significance than it deserves.

It could also be used as a way of saying "greatly exaggerated"

For instance, "The risk of damage to the environment from wind farms has been blown out of all proportion"

Answer

It means something has been made a bigger issue than necessary.

If something is in proportion then all sides are similar in size/weight/etc.  So to be blown out of proportion means something is larger than it should be.  Therefore, an issue is being made to seem way more important than it really is.

Answer

way too big
