twerps
Insignificant little nuisances
Twerps is the plural of twerp, a mildly insulting term for an insignificant, annoying, or contemptible person—usually someone perceived as foolish or immature: Those twerps from accounting messed up the report again.
The word carries more dismissiveness than real hostility, suggesting the person isn't worth taking seriously.
