pie-eater
Pastry-consuming contestant
A pie-eater is someone considered unsophisticated, provincial, or of low status—a nobody.
The term appears in Australian and British English, often as mild disparagement for someone from a working-class or rural background.
In parts of northern England, particularly Wigan, locals have embraced the label with ironic pride.
He's just a pie-eater from the sticks.
