Fragen über die Beispielsätze mit, und die Definition und Benutzung von "Catchall"

A: 😮 thank you

A: Separate it into "catch all" might help.

It refers to a tray or dish you might put right inside the door or in the kitchen to drop various odds and ends- that random key nobody can figure out what it's for, a couple coins out of somebody's pocket, a screw from somewhere, maybe the last battery out of a pack, that kind of thing.

Any other usage would be related in terms of imagery. If someone says
"it's a catchall term for...", it's the same as saying "it's the generic term for..."

A: A dumping ground or area with no particular qualifications.
