We learned 'nuts and bolts' meaning practical details, there is another smart word with the similar meaning:
nitty-gritty [nit-ee-grit-ee]
noun. the most important aspects or practical details
"The world has reached a historic international climate agreement in Paris. Now the nations must focus on the nitty-gritty details to implement the plan to limit the rise of global warming this century."
"Donald Trump throws out ridiculous statements like confetti, but declines to get into the nitty-gritty."
