The origin of the proverb "no more than the man in the moon" is unclear, but it is tied to the "man in the moon," a fictional or imaginary figure. It has been used since at least the 16th century to describe something or someone that is considered unimportant or insignificant. The phrase highlights the idea that just as the "man in the moon" does not exist, something considered "no more than the man in the moon" is of little value or importance. This saying serves as a reminder not to give too much importance to things or people that do not truly matter.
