I disagree. It took around two years of seeing hamburger menus before it clicked...

I just think of the 3 vertical dots as vertical ellipsis. I often use vertical ellipsis when making a list that continues. e.g.

— History of Empire and Colonialism

— History of Religion and Society

— History of Race, Gender, and Power

⋮

— History of War and Society

So it naturally means "there is more stuff here" to me. YMMV

In your context it does make sense. As a menu button it doesn't (to me at least).
