and all

The whole lot

And all is a casual phrase tacked onto the end of a statement to include related or implied things without listing them: She brought the kids and all, He was crying and all.

It can also serve as mild emphasis, suggesting the full extent of something: They invited us to stay for dinner and all.

British speakers use it more frequently than Americans.
