Bells make this noise. And whistles make this noise. But does this expression have to do with noises?
Bells and Whistles
D: My friend’s new car is amazing! It has all the latest bells and whistles.
A: Really? What features does it have?
D: Well, it has a karaoke machine, self-parking…
A: Wait! How many songs on the karaoke machine?
D: I don’t know, thousands?
A: Gasp!
“Bells and whistles” are special features added to a product to make it more appealing. But they are not essential or needed. Anything from cars to exercise equipment can have bells and whistles. Originally published at - learningenglish.voanews.com/a...
