chumps
Fools easily deceived
Chumps is the plural of chump—a fool or someone easily deceived.
The word carries mild contempt: Those chumps fell for the oldest trick in the book.
A chump is gullible, not necessarily stupid, but naive enough to be taken advantage of.
Don't be a chump—read the contract before you sign.
