عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes confuse this meaning with the object sense (a model or a toy). When talking about a person being stupid, "dummy" is usually used with a person: "He is a dummy," not "He is a dummy toy." Also, it is informal and can sound rude, so it should not be used in polite situations.
