just folks
Down-to-earth types
Just folks describes people who are unpretentious, down-to-earth, and relatable despite wealth or status.
The phrase often appears when public figures want to seem ordinary: The senator tried to present herself as just folks.
It can be sincere or skeptical—genuinely praising someone's lack of airs, or noting a calculated attempt to appear common.
