among other things

Including but beyond

Among other things signals that what follows is one item from a larger, unstated list.

The phrase implies additional examples exist but aren't worth enumerating: The store sells, among other things, vintage records and used books.

It can also downplay something significant by burying it alongside trivia: He was, among other things, a convicted felon.
