Dash not for nuts etc (3,2,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

and so forth

'etc' is the definition.
(both can indicate a list continues)

'dash not for nuts' is the wordplay.
'nuts' indicates an anagram (nuts can mean crazy).
'dash'+'not'+'for'='dashnotfor'
'dashnotfor' is an anagram of 'AND SO FORTH'.

(Other definitions for and so forth that I've seen before include "Et cetera" , "etc." , "imagine what follows" , "Along with other things" , "implies others of the same type" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Sunday Times.
