Vague constructions

Gotta love a good meeting, especially when some adapts a 500+ year-old phrase...

"...for all intensive purposes..."

For those wondering of the true origin, I quote:

"This cliche (meaning "practically") is a shortening of the legalphrase "to all intents, constructions, and purposes" (found in an act adopted under Henry VIII in 1547)".

Well I've learnt something. But what if your purposes are more vague in nature?
