Can we call someone a wallpaper? Hi. Can we call someone a wallpaper? I have found an interesting definition in the urban dictionary: Wallpaper - A person who is so plain and uninteresting that they are as attention grabbing as wallpaper. Are there any other similar expressions? Thanks!

You can call someone "wallpaper" but not "a wallpaper". You would never count wallpaper, just refer to it collectively. "To fit in at my school, you have to be pretty or you are wallpaper."

Urban dictionary or no, I've never heard this used. But I'm an old guy so I might not know what young people are saying. A "wallflower" is a person at a dance who never gets asked to dance, or, generally, a shy or awkward person who has difficulty participating in social events.
