"(Or) words to that effect" hoặc "to the effect that" = nghĩa đại khái là -> dùng khi bạn không rõ hoặc không muốn nhắc lại chính xác từ mà bạn nghe được, nên bạn chỉ tóm tắt lại và nói đại ý.

Ví dụ
"If we mess this up, we've messed up the best chance," he said, or words to that effect.

In one incident (vụ việc) in December 2017, a pupil described a drawing as looking like her friend's vagina (âm đạo) and Mr Lewis said words to the effect: "If your vagina looks like that you've got a problem."

It might be a question, whether, if a subsequent act (hành động theo sau) were passed, which could receive no effect consistently (nhất quán) with such acts continuing in force, this would of necessity repeal (hủy bỏ) them in the same manner as positive and direct words to that effect.

Mr. Stone then opened the business (mở doanh nghiệp), by saying that he wished to have my opinion upon some line of conduct which he proposed (đề nghị) to pursue, in which he conceived (cho rằng) he might be of very great public benefit (lợi ích công cộng), or some words to that effect.
