The manner in which 'Hoi Polloi'is used is often incorrect taken to mean 'high polloi' or the 'higher ups. The literal meaning from Old Greek is 'the many' or the great un-washed, in fact the opposite meaning to that given by our Footy commentators, or users of the 'dimmix' dictionary now in vogue.
Sorry Ted
