How it's used

Describes something that penetrates into every nook and cranny, often implying an overwhelming or slightly intrusive presence. While it can describe physical substances like gas or water, it is frequently used metaphorically for aggressive marketing, surveillance, or the spread of information. It carries a sense of inevitability, suggesting that no barrier is strong enough to keep the subject out.

Common mistake

Do not use this to describe someone who is simply 'thorough' or 'diligent' in a positive, professional sense. It almost always carries a negative or slightly sinister connotation of being inescapable or invasive.
