  What it means

  Literally “a storm in a glass of water.” Means a huge fuss over something trivial — the Polish equivalent of “a storm in a teacup.”

  Vocabulary

  • burza — storm
  • szklanka — glass (drinking glass)
  • woda — water

  Grammar note

  'W szklance' is locative of 'szklanka' after 'w.' 'Wody' is genitive of 'woda' (a glass of water).
