this, that, and the other thing
this, that, and the other thing
A lot of different, varying things; miscellany. A: "What did you and Steve talk about when you met for a pint?" B: "Oh, this, that, and the other thing. We don't really get into deep or meaningful conversations." I really need to sort through this drawer. It has this, that, and the other thing in it, but I can never find what I'm actually looking for!
