This is a relatively popular phrase, which I can't find any information about at the moment. I'm pretty sure it means something like "roughly" or "around", but I'm wondering if it is an actual formal phrase or idiom and whether people out there have heard it used often.

common examples:

"He only has 200 some odd dollars left in his bank account."

"I have already been waiting 15 some odd minutes here."

(I'm unsure of the syntax of using it either; for instance, should there be a comma preceeding the phrase in these examples?)

Ok, I read something in a book that stated that Shakespeare coined a lot of terms in the English language including the word "drug." Is that true???

the book is called Essential Shakespeare Handbook by Leslie Dunton-Downer, Alan Riding, 2004.
