nothing fancy
simple and ordinary
Used to say that something is simple and ordinary, rather than special, luxurious, or expensive.
Hear it in real life
Where should we eat tonight?
Anywhere is fine - nothing fancy.
We had a quiet dinner at home, nothing fancy.
The mistake everyone makes
Not: We had nothing luxury for dinner.
Say: We had nothing fancy for dinner.
Use the adjective “fancy” to describe a simple meal; “luxury” is a noun and does not fit here.
