What's the meaning of 应有尽有?

[chineseiseasy]

This word 应有尽有 appears in the title of this video https://www.ixigua.com/7021520572526002719

 

Just wonder what's the meaning of it?

 

Thanks.

It's an idiom meaning that everything you could ever wish for is there.

 

You can also find this in dictionaries such as pleco (highly recommend you get this).

 

Pleco has this example:

 

这家超市日用品应有尽有。

Zhè jiā chāoshì rìyòngpǐn yīngyǒujìnyǒu.

This supermarket has just about everything you could wish for.

Why aren't you using a dictionary?

 

It's a Chengyu.

Actually I just tried to look up "didactic" in Pleco (for something related to my teaching), and for the first time I experienced it not having a definition.

We'll just have to pray it never crops up in the title to a gaming video

This is a very good question.
