anything of the kind

Anything that is similar, close to, or like what was said or is in question. (Usually used in a negative formation.) I don't know why you think I agreed to pay you a hundred dollars—I didn't say anything of the kind. I believe you about what you saw, but I honestly don't recall anything of the kind ever occurring here!
