What it means
Type shit is a loose little filler you tack onto the end of a sentence to mean that kind of vibe, that sort of thing, you know what I mean. It does not add loads of literal meaning, but it gives the line a casual rhythm. Very online, very chatty, and usually tossed in when someone is listing plans, moods, or habits.
Usage examples
"We are just kicking back tonight, watching dumb movies, raiding the snacks, type shit, nothing ambitious and honestly that feels correct."
Where it comes from
A clipped form of type of shit, which has long floated around casual speech as a loose way to mean that sort of thing. Online slang tightened it into a punchier filler phrase with the same relaxed, knowing vibe.
