Man on the Clapham omnibus (en.wikipedia.org)

The man on the Clapham omnibus is a hypothetical ordinary and reasonable person, used by the courts in English law where it is necessary to decide whether a party has acted as a reasonable person would – for example, in a civil action for negligence. The character is a fairly educated, intelligent but undistinguished person, against whom the defendant's conduct can be measured.
