Somehow, I end boos for insignificant types (8)

nobodies

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'insignificant types' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'somehow i end boos' is the wordplay.
'somehow' indicates an anagram.
'i'+'end'+'boos'='iendboos'
'iendboos' with letters rearranged gives 'NOBODIES'.

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for nobodies that I've seen before include "People without importance or authority" , "Insignificant people" , "Unimportant people" , "Ciphers" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
