schmoe
Just some guy
A schmoe is an ordinary, unremarkable person—often one who's a bit foolish or easily taken advantage of.
The word carries mild contempt or pity: Some poor schmoe got stuck with the bill.
It suggests someone average, anonymous, perhaps gullible—the guy who doesn't know what's really going on.
Also spelled schmo.
