"Odds and ends" = Đầu thừa đuôi thẹo -> Đồ không quan trọng/không có giá trị, đồ vật linh tinh, phần còn lại.

Ví dụ
Val Paulisick of Murrysville is a maker. She sees a box full of paper scraps and odds and ends, and begins imagining the possibilities.

When I asked Butch Davis following Wednesday’s practice what was needed to upset Miami, he responded by emphasizing playing fundamental football and not having timely miscues (đánh trượt, mắc sai lầm). With all due respect to Davis, there’s no way he could have envisioned (mường tượng, hình dung) that his Panthers would turn it around like they did in Saturday’s 30-24 upset of the Hurricanes. Here are the odds and ends from the stadium on Saturday.

But Jansen's colleague Liezel Frick, director of the university's centre for higher and adult education, says it's important to remember the ultimate goal of a PhD. She tells Gould: "I get the point around flexibility but it's still a research focused degree. You still have to make an original contribution to your field of knowledge. Otherwise it becomes a continuing professional development programme where you can do odds and ends but never get to the core (phần cốt lõi) of it, which is a substantive (trọng yếu, thực sự) research contribution."
