High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The phrase "Tom, Dick and Harry" is a placeholder for multiple unspecified people; "Tom, Dick or Harry" plays the same role for one unspecified person. The phrase most commonly occurs as "every Tom, Dick and Harry", meaning everyone, and "any Tom, Dick or Harry", meaning anyone, although Brewer defines the term to specify "a set of nobodies; persons of no note". The masculine names in these phrase do not in themselves imply exclusion of females, but use of either version when the context implies necessarily being female ? for example, "Your mother could be any Tom, Dick or Harry" ? would normally be seen as careless or ironic. The phrase may be used with or without the serial comma, as "Tom, Dick, and Harry" or "Tom, Dick and Harry".
