pushovers
Walkovers, essentially
Pushovers are people who are easily persuaded, dominated, or defeated.
The term implies weakness or excessive compliance: Don't be such a pushover—stand up for yourself.
A task that's a pushover is easily accomplished: The exam was a pushover.
The singular pushover works the same way.
