Definder - what does the word mean?

What is it's all relative?

means that the world is in the eye of the beholder; it all depends on how you look at things; all people look at things from a different perspective and have differing opinions or views about someone, something, etc.
Everything is quantifiable in terms of individual perception.

To him, the new house is beautiful and grandiose in appearance; to me, it's ugly and pretentious. It's all relative, then, isn't it?
You think you're poor? Then take a look at the skid row bums living in the sewers downtown. Everything is relative.

It's all relative - what is it?

The award-winning, buzzword, catchphrase, or slogan, of life, and selection of sexual partners, in a small hick town with an abundance of trailer parks. Ya know, those small hamlets that, when upon entering the village, a big sign greets you and states, "Welcome to East Podunk, where the men are wife beaters and the sheep run scared."

EXAMPLE: Cobleskill, NY.
