🌼 A drop in the ocean

💡 Meaning
If an amount is a drop in the ocean, it's a very small portion of the amount that's needed.

Example: Our government's sending a thousand tons of food, but that's just a drop in the ocean compared to what's needed.

🗣I know twenty dollars is just a drop in the ocean, but if everyone gave that much it'd make a big difference.

✏️Note
The U.S. equivalent is "a drop in the bucket".

💧Variety
This idiom is typically used in British English but may be used in other varieties of English too.
