That is not how the idiom high and low is used.
E.g. I have been looking for you high and low (everywhere) since yesterday.
I know that usage. But I want to know whether the idiom has any other meaning such as 'by all without exception', i.e., 'by all irrespective of age' other than 'everywhere'?
If it had, it would have been stated in the dictionary.
Hi, tedmc! , in the link 'https: //dictionary.cambridge.org/dic...h/high-and-low' which was provided by teechar, in the section 'more meanings of high and low', there was an another meaning of that idiom, i.e., 'All'.Therefore, how you can say that "If it had, it would have been stated in the dictionary"!
Which other meaning? Show me.
My statement still holds.
Hi, tedmc!
If you had looked through the link provided by teechar, you would have found your answer on yourself. I request you to kindly look up the another meaning of that idiom in the Cambridge dictionary which was provided earlier in the link. I suggest you not to make a hasty remark by not examining any link thoroughly. Even I'm satisfied with the explanation given by respected probus.
It was not a hasty remark. It was a correct, concise remark.Hi, tedmc!

Absolutely.I think the usage for social class is rather dated- I'd expect to find it in a historical novel rather than a newspaper.
