bells and whistles
Definition: Excessive or unnecessary features on something; showy or
flashy parts.
Example: 1) My father bought a new computer with all the bells and
whistles. I think it even makes toast.
2) I like the original model, without all the bells and whistles the
second version has.
Etymology: 'Bells' and 'whistles' make noise and attract attention,
but they are not a necessary part of most things.
Synonyms: frills
