Word of the Day: No-frills
The apartment in the accompanying picture today is a no-frills apartment.
What you see is what you get; there’s nothing extra.
There is no fancy furniture, curtains or floor coverings.
When something is as basic as it can be, it is described as no-frills.
In North America, there is a grocery store chain called no-frills (yes, there are no capitals in the store’s name).
The store and displays are not fancy – no frills. Everything is basic, but the prices are lower than in fancier grocery stores.
