✔️ Bog-standard

📚British. Something that is "bog-standard" is completely ordinary with no frills, embellishments, or add-ons.

Its origins are somewhat unclear, but a "bog" is another word for a toilet in British slang, adding to the connotations that something "bog-standard" is unglamorous and unspecial.

〰🦋〰

〰🌸 "How was the hostel?" "Oh, nothing exciting to report. Just your bog-standard dorm, really."
