“It Doesn’t Amount To A Hill of Beans”
This expression means that something is of little significance. This phrase became very well known when Humphrey Bogart’s character in Casablanca said the line: “Ilsa, I’m no good at being noble, but it doesn’t take much to see that the problems of three little people don’t amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world.”
