What does pretty much anything mean?

"Pretty much anything" is a casual phrase that means almost everything, nearly all, or a very large majority of things.

It's an informal way to express a general sense of inclusiveness, often without being specific or definitive.

Here are some examples of how it might be used:

* "I'm pretty much anything for dinner tonight." (Means the speaker is open to a wide variety of options.)

* "Pretty much anything goes in this class." (Means there are few rules or limitations.)

* "Pretty much anything can be found online these days." (Means online resources are vast and diverse.)

It's important to note that the phrase is often used in a somewhat imprecise way, and the speaker might not actually mean "everything" but simply a very large proportion.
