Bits & pieces is another commonly used expression here in England which basically means “miscellaneous stuff.” You’ll occasionally hear other variations on this, such as bits & bobs or odds & sods. But bits & pieces is the most commonly used. I guess the only thing comparable in America is perhaps “odds & ends” or “this & that” and you rarely hear those here.
For example:
- I need to run to the store to pick up some bits & pieces.
- I’ve got some odds & sods to sort out before I can leave work.
- Can you take care of those bits & bobs lying on the counter there?
