Szálinvázió

Szálinvázió is a term used in Hungarian to describe a large-scale invasion or influx of something, often implying an overwhelming or unwelcome presence. While literally translating to "salt invasion," its usage extends beyond the literal. It can refer to a significant migration of people into an area, a sudden and pervasive spread of a particular trend or phenomenon, or even an aggressive business takeover. The connotation is generally negative, suggesting an encroachment that disrupts the existing order or overwhelms local resources or culture.

The term is not specific to any particular historical event but can be applied retrospectively or to contemporary situations. For instance, it might be used to describe a historical population movement that drastically altered the demographics of a region, or more colloquially, to express concern about a rapid increase in foreign tourists in a popular destination, impacting local life. The "salt" in the term evokes a sense of something that spreads insidiously and can be difficult to remove once established, much like salt can corrode and permeate. It highlights a feeling of being overrun or saturated by an external force or element.
