Show that you think something isn't important
Answer:
SHRUGITOFF
Hint:
Think of a casual gesture paired with a phrase you might say when dismissing a minor annoyance or unimportant comment.
Explanation:
"Show that you think something isn’t important" hints at a dismissive gesture or phrase. "Shrug it off" fits perfectly—it’s a common expression meaning to ignore or downplay something as unworthy of concern. The answer combines the literal act of shrugging (a physical gesture of indifference) with "it off," reinforcing the idea of brushing aside what doesn’t matter. Think of someone literally lifting their shoulders and saying, "Eh, no big deal."
