'Etc. is an abbreviation for the Latin et cetera, meaning and a bunch of other shit.

Etc. is most often used in arguments - particularly OTI arguments - in place of legitimate supporting evidence. People who like to argue, but are too lazy to actually do any research, often use "etc" as well as "whatever" as the fundamental basis of their argument.
