this, that, and the other

Miscellany; a lot of different, varying things. Jen: "What did you and Steve talk about when you met for a pint?" Dave: "Oh, this, that, and the other. 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 in it, but I can never find what I'm actually looking for!
