everybody and their grandma
Every single person
Everybody and their grandma is a humorous exaggeration meaning a very large number of people, often implying that something has become so widespread it includes even the most unlikely participants: Everybody and their grandma has a podcast now.
The phrase emphasizes ubiquity to the point of absurdity.
Also *everybody and their mother*, *everybody and their dog*.
