A: Several brands, including Huawei and Samsung, have recently marketed their new foldable smartphones. These gadgets are super cool!

B: They are also super expensive. I just need a bog standard phone — nothing fancy.

Note: This British slang term means “conventional, basic, unrefined.” First heard in the 1960s, the saying may result from the association with the word “bog,” which has long been used in the U.K. to mean toilet. A similar saying is “box standard.” For example: A bog standard rights issue of US$10 billion would pay this year’s bills.
