joe schmo 

A regular person. Often but not necessarily with a slightly negative connotation. Etymologically related to "Average Joe" and "Schmo" a Yiddish word for idiot.
I'm scared as hell of becoming some Joe Schmo, watching football, drinking beer that my fat wife brings me, and blaming my farts on my dog.

Yiddish for an idiot or a cuckold. Essential loan word in New Yorkese English, along with all the other Yiddish insults. See also schmuck.
That schmo just took my spot and flipped me the bird. Jerk.

Schmo-motion 

Exclamitive of derision.
1) Painfully clumsy. Much like the "Smooth move-Exlax" line of yesteryear.

2)Uncoordinated and awkward motion, also an incredible exhibition of one's inability to get their "groove on" especially the dance floor.

3)Lame "mack" moves. An inabilty to impress members of the opposite sex with corny, cliche or otherwise bad pickup lines!
Tripping over your own shoelaces, one is derided by his peers with the phrase: Schmo-motion clumsy!

That dude on the dance floor got Schmo-motion, or else he's havin' a siezure!

Failing to get a hookup, your homies say to you: "Schmo-motion dog"! "She wouldn't give you a second thought".
