my ex-boyfriend had a teacher in high school named "Monsieur Toulemonde". for the non french-speaking among us, "toulemonde" is pronounced like "tout le monde", which means "everybody". "M. Toulemonde" is commonly used as a metaphor for the average person.
"sure, these crazy new liseuses are popular with the geeks, but will they ever catch on with M. Toulemonde ?"
