warm bodies
Available human help
Warm bodies are living people available to fill positions or perform tasks, often regardless of their qualifications or abilities.
The phrase emphasizes mere physical presence over skill: We just need warm bodies to staff the event.
It can sound dismissive, reducing people to interchangeable units: The company was hiring any warm bodies they could find.
