done things

Tasks already finished

Done things is a vague, evasive phrase for actions someone prefers not to specify—often because they're embarrassing, illegal, or morally questionable: I've done things I'm not proud of.

The deliberate vagueness lets speakers acknowledge a past without detailing it, inviting imagination to fill the gap.
