This example might be local to Baltimore. Do you hear people say, lazily, "and stuff like that" or "and everything" on the end of a sentence that needs concrete examples?

"My dog's got some bad habits. He barks his head off and stuff like that."

Well, sir, if his head is off, how can he keep up that bad habit?

"He chews ice and everything." Everything? Does he chew the TV, the faucet, the doorstops, the laundry basket? Surely you could think of at least three more specific examples than just ice.
