    Actual should have been "or something".

    In the English language, "or so" is used only for numeric uncertainties (like "5 eggs or so" / "5 or so eggs"),but not for general uncertainties, like not knowing what specific type of thing an object is.

    That's different to my 1st language (German) and I didn't know that before learning it from other comments in this thread.
