dhimmi

1. Christians and Jews (and sometimes others) in traditional Islamic empires. They had a recognized but very subordinate legal status.

2. Zeropian politicians who kowtow to political Islam, as in Chiraqistan.

In France, the elite are all dhimmis.

hoi polloi

Namby-pamby phrase for the masses, or the great unwashed. Fr. Ancient Greek "the many." Saying "the hoi polloi" is an ineffictive attempt at literary snobbery

We read The Atlantic; hoi polloi read People.
