randos
Strangers, in slang
Randos is the plural of rando, slang for random people—strangers with no particular connection to you or the situation: The party was mostly randos, Some rando just messaged me on Instagram.
The word carries mild dismissiveness, suggesting people who are unremarkable or whose presence is unexplained.
