It may sound sarcastic, but I'm serious in a theoretical way. Once items are not individually listed, how can they be grouped?
There's no great way to describe it, just similar items.
When I see miscellaneous I take a look at the dollar amount to see if I need someone to break it down. $25 bucks - hardly worth my time. Every once in awhile I get someone who puts down misc - $700 (out of a total higher than the personal exemption), that's a red flag for me and I generally make them take it all out of their bags.
