U is for Ubiquitous

It’s everywhere! It’s everywhere!

In the last few years, I have read the word ‘ubiquitous’ a good number of times! I’m wondering if this word is being overused, and becoming ubiquitous? It seems to pop up everywhere!

I thought the word meant frequent or plenty, but it really means ‘being everywhere at the same time; omnipresent’. However, it can also mean commonplace, everyday, household..

Here are some seemingly ubiquitous things I have come across.

dust bunnies

bills

cell phones

junk food

complaints

my cat

liquor outlets

tempting sweet treats

computers

Starbucks coffee shops

Tim Horton’s

signs of Spring

 

I wish my word ideas to complete the A-Z Challenge were more ubiquitous!! I seem to be heading into a brick wall with the last letters!!

What is ubiquitous in your neck of the woods?

  1. I can tell you what is NOT ubiquitous in my life - cash, thinness, natural hair color, and time to write. Enjoy your writing, am a new follower. :-) Come visit me at the Ballpark (just click my name.) So nice to find you!
