nothing special
Just plain average
Nothing special describes something ordinary, unremarkable, or not worth particular attention.
The phrase often downplays significance, sometimes out of genuine modesty, sometimes to deflect further inquiry: What did you do last night? Nothing special.
It can also express mild disappointment: The restaurant was nothing special.
