that guy
The obnoxious one
That guy refers to a man whose name you don't know or choose not to use: Who's that guy over there?
More pointedly, it describes someone known for a particular behavior or trait, often unwanted: Don't be that guy who talks during movies.
The phrase can mark someone as a type rather than an individual—the one who overshares, who lingers too long, who misses the social cue everyone else caught.
