English idiom – All over the place
The World Cup is a big event!

The English Idiom “All over the place” has 2 meanings that you will learn how to use in this blog post.
All over the place – meaning #1
① everywhere; over a great distance or area.

For meaning ① the word place has a general feeling, it means everywhere. It’s also okay to use a specific area name instead of the word place. Remember my first example:
“The matches will be played all over the country!”
In this sentence, instead of saying the place I said the country. The feeling is the same but the place is not so general, it means Russia. The matches will be played all over Russia.”
Please look at these other examples:
“Starbucks has become very popular in Tokyo. New cafes are opening all over the city.”
“As my friends got older they moved away from my hometown. Now they’re all over the state and I don’t see them much.”
For meaning ② all over the place can also be used to describe a state of mind (the condition of your mind) to mean confused or unclear. Often someone is thinking about too many things at once, and they can’t to focus.
