And cetera
It's a weird way of saying etc, which is an abbreviation of et cetera. Which is Latin for "and the rest", with et being "and". It's more colloquially translated as "and so forth", or "and so on", or "yada yada yada"
Etc is too long nowadays? Good god.
Yep, time really is at a premium when you need to abbreviate the abbreviations!
