How it's used
Often appears in formal contexts like accounting, receipts, or budget reports to group together small, unclassified expenses. While it is a standard noun, it carries a slightly bureaucratic or administrative tone compared to casual terms like 濕碎嘢. Use it when you need to sound precise about grouping items that do not fit into a specific category.

Common mistake
Avoid using this to describe people or abstract concepts, as it is strictly reserved for physical items, expenses, or tasks. It is not a casual way to refer to 'stuff' in general conversation.
