So the bigger question is: Will my answer incur the wrath of users of this site with enough rep to vote to close it? See A theory of moderation for more detail. "Even with active community self-regulation, moderators occasionally need to intervene". I don't expect to be jumped on by moderators, to be honest. | |

I am attempting to answer the question. I dislike when people "answer" in a comment. I've edited my answer to add a bit of detail. The question was for an idiomatic expression. I believe this is it. "We're nobody important" mixes singular (nobody) and plural (we're). | |

Can you explain (briefly, I know time is precious!) why this is the plural equivalent of "I'm nobody important"? Be aware that @herrison's answer also includes the solution “We're nobody important” | |
