common as muck
Nothing special whatsoever
Common as muck describes someone or something utterly lacking in refinement or social distinction—as ordinary and lowly as dirt.
The phrase is British, often self-deprecating or affectionately disparaging: She's a millionaire now but still common as muck.
Muck here means filth or manure, emphasizing earthiness rather than elegance.
