It's from the Greek meaning literally the many, or the majority, which, in the olden days of direct democracy, meant they actually carried the day rather than being looked down upon. (I once read a column by the daughter of Clifton Fadiman. She said she grew up in a household where one would never use the expression, "The hoi polloi." After all hoi means "the", so saying "The hoi polloi" is a mistake only hoi polloi would make.) [Sorry for rambling on, Chief.] [/QUOTE]
