as good, well, etc. as the next person

as (something) as the next man/woman/person

As much of the adjective stated between "as" and "as" as anyone else or the average person. Of course I can solve this math problem—I'm just as smart as the next man. Look, I'm as adventurous as the next person, but there's no way I would ever cross that rickety rope bridge.

as good, well, etc. as the ˈnext person

as good/well etc. as most other people: I can swim as well as the next person, but I can’t compete with her — she’s an Olympic champion.
