or something (like that)

Or else something similar to or like what has just been said. (Used to express that what's been said is just a possible example, or else the speaker is not exactly sure of it.) A: "What do you want to do this evening?" B: "We could go out for dinner or something, if you like." I'm not sure what John's husband does for a living; I think he's a writer or something like that.
