regular Joes
Ordinary everyday folks
Regular Joes are ordinary, average people—typically men, though the phrase can apply broadly.
The term suggests unpretentious, working-class normalcy: He's not some celebrity, just a regular Joe.
Someone described this way lacks special status, wealth, or distinction.
The plural emphasizes the collective mass of everyday people: a bar where regular Joes grab a beer after work.
