It �s about the same as saying "something like that". Meaning that something is very similar to what was just said or explained. |

With that basic or general meaning, as in He said he was very worried, or words to that effect. This term is also put as to the effect that when introducing a clause, as in She was a little vague but said something to the effect that she �d repay the loan very soon. |
