I have a new shirt. On the front is a hashtag #ImUniversal. Youngest looks at it this morning and says, "Are you universal over the p-adics? If so, I have some questions for you." This is a joke, having to do with a sticking point in his current research problem. I was pleased that I got the joke and impressed with his wit before 9 am on a summer's morning!
p-adics are a class of numbers, like the integers or real numbers (in some ways they are parallel to the real numbers). You can read about them here or here, but I don't guarantee that you'll be any more enlightened after you do.
