"Nothing Burger" is a colloquial term used to describe something that is insignificant, unimportant, or lacking substance. It's often used to dismiss a situation, event, or topic as being uninteresting or having no real impact. The term implies that whatever is being referred to is essentially devoid of substance, like a hamburger with no filling – just a bun. It's often used in casual conversation or in more informal settings to convey a sense of triviality or insignificance. | [[File:ERW-X-post-1601020070716575744-Fjf3Q XVsAExCao.jpg|thumb]] | ||
