“It’s ___ nothing”

The phrase “It’s ___ nothing” is often used to indicate that something is not a big deal or is insignificant. The missing word in this phrase, which is the answer to the crossword question, is ALLOR, a French word that means “so” or “therefore“. While it may seem unusual to use a French word in an English crossword, this is not uncommon, as crosswords often incorporate words and phrases from various languages. By filling in ALLOR as the missing word, the completed phrase would read “It’s all or nothing“.
