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
