…or anything like that

Tacks a vague "or something" onto a verb so you are not claiming an exact list: 술 마시거나 그러면 "if I'm drinking or whatever", 당황스러웠거나 그런 적 "anything awkward like that". Half these lines are negative — 붓글씨를 하거나 그러지는 않습니다 "I don't do calligraphy or anything of that sort" — where it politely rules out a whole area rather than one specific thing. It is a softener, so it belongs in speech and looks sloppy in writing.
