shlubs
Unremarkable average Joes
Shlubs is the plural of shlub, a Yiddish-derived term for an ordinary, unremarkable person—someone schlumpy, unstylish, or socially awkward.
The word carries affectionate condescension: Just a bunch of shlubs watching the game.
A shlub isn't necessarily disliked, just unimpressive.
Also spelled schlubs.
