of that ilk
Of that sort
Of that ilk means of that kind or type, usually with dismissive or disparaging overtones: conspiracy theorists and others of that ilk, I don't associate with people of that ilk.
The phrase originally had a specific Scottish meaning—a landowner whose surname matched his estate's name—but this technical sense has been almost entirely displaced by the general "of that sort."
