“Everywhere” means scattered, disorganized, or confused. It can describe objects or people literally or figuratively, with a negative connotation. It’s used to describe scattered items, confused thoughts, and disorganized plans. It can also mean confusion in movies, games, and parenting.
“Everywhere” is a figure of speech that usually means that someone or something is scattered, disorganized, or confused. The saying can be used to describe an object or person literally or figuratively. In general, the saying has a negative connotation. Most people do not wish to be described as such, nor do they wish their homes, thoughts or plans to be confused or scattered. Being described this way is akin to being called watered down or as tidy as a pig’s pen.
The English saying is often used literally to mean that items are scattered around, such as when someone says, “He bought the ingredients for the pie, but now they’re all over the place.” Scattered or disorganized is a common meaning of the phrase. Also, items should not be scattered in a small place. Alternatively, someone might say, “Canadians are everywhere. I know Canadian people who now live in Germany, Africa and Mexico.”
Sometimes the saying is used figuratively, making it an idiomatic expression. A person may say, “She was ill-prepared for the speech. Thoughts of her were everywhere.’ Obviously thoughts are not objects to be touched or thrown, but in this case the woman’s thoughts were scattered or disorganized. She may have started the conversation talking about elephants and then accidentally ended up talking about her body lotions. Another example of the idiom is “My plans are all over the place,” which means that the person doesn’t have her plans in order.
The saying can also mean that something or someone is confused. Movies, games, and parenting can be anywhere; for example, a game might have an underdeveloped interface and a difficult story to follow. In this case, the game can confuse gamers and can be described using the saying. People are often described using this saying when they decide on something and then change their mind. In some cases, a person may simply not be able to make a decision and is therefore described using this saying to indicate that the decision-making process was scattered, disorganized, or confused.
