When referring to a person, this term is highly informal and carries a strong negative connotation, often used as a mild insult to describe someone as foolish or slow-witted. In professional or technical contexts, such as software engineering or crash testing, the term is neutral and refers specifically to a placeholder or a simulation tool.

In British English, the word is the standard term for a baby's pacifier. In American English, "pacifier" is more common, and "dummy" in this context may be misunderstood or ignored. The adjective form is typically used to describe something that looks real but lacks function, such as a dummy camera used for security deterrence.
