average Joe
Definition: Someone who is just like everyone else; a normal person.
Example: 1) Mickey is your average Joe - he likes football, hates opera, and thinks it's a crime to do any work on weekends.
Etymology: 'Average' means 'in the middle' or 'not extreme', and 'Joe' is a common male name. So 'average Joe' refers to a man who is not extremely different from everyone else.
Synonyms: regular guy
