How it's used
Carries a strong sense of exasperation or annoyance when addressing a group. It functions as a way to emphasize that every individual in a collective is failing to meet an expectation or behaving in a frustrating manner. Speakers often use it to scold or mock, making it unsuitable for polite or formal situations.
Examples
Why is it that none of you guys are answering the phone?
Every single one of them claims they do not know what happened.
Related words
Common phrases
every one of them is like that
every one of them is being lazy
Common mistake
Avoid using this to refer to yourself or your own group, as it is strictly used to point fingers at others. It is also not a literal count of people, so do not use it when you are simply trying to state that there are two people present.
