nobodies
Those who don't matter
Nobodies is the plural of nobody, meaning people of no importance or influence.
The word emphasizes lack of status or recognition: We were nobodies before the show aired.
It often carries self-deprecating or dismissive force: Why would they listen to a bunch of nobodies like us?
