all that
Really something special
All that means all of those things or everything just mentioned: After all that, she still said no.
It also functions as an intensifier meaning so very or to that degree, usually in negative constructions: It wasn't all that difficult.
The phrase can express dismissiveness: You think you're all that—meaning you believe yourself to be impressive when you're not.
