"En faire tout un fromage" is a French expression that translates to "making a big cheese out of it" in English. It's used to describe someone who is making a fuss or exaggerating over something that isn't really a big deal. The origin of this phrase is uncertain, but it likely stems from the idea that cheese-making requires patience, attention to detail, and exaggeration of the importance of the process. So when someone "makes a big cheese out of it," they are blowing something out of proportion, perhaps akin to turning a small piece of cheese into a grand spectacle, which adds a humorous touch to the expression.
