It all vs everything
Why would you use 'it all' instead of 'everything'?
Has it to do with the specificity of the 'things' they are referring to?
Or is it simply just considered more formal to say 'it all'?
The sentence is:
I've heard it all before.
Thanks in advance

LD DIRKER I've heard it all before. "It" refers to old tired arguments or stories that the other person keeps repeating over and over and over ad nauseum.
