Tempest in a teapot

There's something you don't hear every day, "Tempest in a Teapot. "

I don't know why, I kinda like it. It means a big controversy about a trivial matter.

Aren't most of our fears really trivial when analyzed or disected?

Tempestuous. It means violent or turbulent. Tempest is a violent wind. Both are derived from a Latin word meaning "weather."
