Reformie Normie 

Your average American Jew who knows a nominal amount about Judaism. This is your "twice a year" Jew, who only goes to Shul on Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. They typically identify as being Jewish through superficial cultural concepts, such as eating matzo ball soup, watching Seinfeld, cultural Zionism, Jewish mother jokes, and remembering the Holocaust. You might see a Reformie Normie stumble drunk into their local college campus Chabad on a Friday night and exclaim "I'm here for the food!". Reformie Normies might have had a Bar or Bat Mitzvah but that was basically the end of their Jewish education, aside from their college Birthright trip. Oh, and their dating profiles always have to say something about a "Nice Jewish Boy/Girl" aka "NJB/NJG". It's a Halachic obligation.
The dating profile of a Reformie Normie:

"I'm just an NJG lookin' for an NJB!"

"Challah atcha boi!"
"I'm just here because my mother want's me to marry a nice Jewish girl!"
"Let's tell our grandparents we met in Shul! ;-)"
"My matzoball soup is better than your bubbie's"
