somebodies
- 1Plural of somebody.
They walked into the gala dressed like somebodies, eager to be noticed.
The talent show turned a handful of unknowns into somebodies almost overnight.
Note
A plural that only the noun can have. Somebody as a pronoun (some unspecified person) never takes an -s: no one says somebodies knocked at the door. The plural belongs to the count noun, above all the sense of an important or recognized person, so it turns up in phrases like dressed like somebodies or turned unknowns into somebodies. The spelling follows the usual rule: final y after a consonant becomes -ies.
