rinky-dinky

Amateurish and insignificant

Rinky-dinky describes something small, cheap, or amateurish—inadequate for serious purposes: a rinky-dinky operation run out of someone's garage, some rinky-dinky town in the middle of nowhere.

The reduplicative formation suggests dismissiveness, like something too slight to take seriously.
