world + dog

This expression (read as "world plus dog") is primarily used on the U.K. information tech news site "The Register" as a synonym for "everyone" or "many, many people". The phrase is apparently an abbreviation for "everyone and his/her dog", expressed in the pithy style of a programmer.

I hear that world + dog is planning to order the new iPhone as soon as it's released.
