Being or seeming to be everywhere at the same time; omnipresent: "plodded through the shadows fruitlessly like an ubiquitous spook" (Joseph Heller).
ubiquitously u·biq'ui·tous·ly adv.| Word Overheard: ubiquitous |
Ubiquitous is one of those words — it's used here, there and everywhere (in fact, one could say it itself is ubiquitous — found all over). Yet it's easy to forget what it means, so it is very often a top alt-click word. Here's one example:
"I predict the end of the ubiquitous iPod is at hand when the music phone goes on the market."
