What's the meaning of McSombody
I wanted to read the book: Milkman.
Here is the first sentence of this book: "The day Somebody McSomebody put a gun to my breast and called me a cat and threatened to shoot me was the same day the milkman died"
What's the meaning of the word McSombody here? I checked many dictionaries but I couldn't find any answers

I'm flagging this as off-topic ("belongs on ELL"). Hi Rp226, you may not be aware that our other site English Language Learners is the best place to look for answers on English questions that a fluent speaker would find trivial. If you have a question for ELL, be sure to read their guidance on what you can ask. :-)

PS "Somebody McSomebody" is a made-up name, like "John Everyman". It means an anonymous, generic or hypothetical person.
