Talia_Brie is an unknown quantity at this point
It depends on the context.

If someone were to say, "Ian Thorpe really kicked Michael Phelp's arse last night," someone else could say, "And then some," indicating it was not your standard arse kicking, but more than that.

It basically means that the previous comment was an understatement.
