Global Majority

Refers to the non-White/non-Indo-European majority that constitutes close to 90% of the globe. Popular usage started off with British NGOs and governments after the 2020 Summer of Love events called the George Floyd "protests" and the increasing mask-off attitude from the New World Order (NWO) oligarchs following that event.
In 2020, the Church of England created an Archbishops' Anti-Racism Taskforce to examine racism in the church. At the time, it primarily used the term "United Kingdom Minority Ethnic" (UKME). When the taskforce's report was published in April 2021, it chose a broader description of "United Kingdom Minority Ethnic/Global Majority Heritage" (UKME/GMH) as more appropriate than BAME. The language of "Global Majority Heritage" is seen as a reminder that minorities often come from a majority culture before migrating to the UK. However, some have rejected the term because it is seen as associated with critical race and intersectional theories.

Majority Rules

Elusive 'rule' or 'law' that can be invoked to carry through the will of the majority. The last word in all decision making processes, whether this be in persuading others to go on a lovely trip to the park, or something altogether more serious. If the majority of people agree about something, e.g. going to the park, and someone says 'Majority Rules' then everyone must do what the majority want. In the same way, can also be used to prove or disprove facts (however ridiculous), in that if the majority agree that something is true/untrue then it is true/untrue - the 'rule' is thus useful for winning arguments where you know others will agree with you.
Arguably pretty much just democracy distilled to the level of petty playground rivalry.
I couldn't be sacked going to the park man, but Mike and that Majority Rules'd me so I had to go.

Silent majority

Bub: What is a silent majority?

Loko: An oxymoron

Bub: Oh really, why?

Loko: Think about it. How can a majority be silent? Would that not also imply there is a loud minority? Not strictly speaking, but by definition, a crowd of a thousand people cannot be more silent than a few individuals. Therefore it is an oxymoron.

Bub: So what you are saying is that a silent majority is seemingly silent, but has all the traits of a majority?

Loko: Exactly. However because it's an oxymoron, it is only to be used under specific contexts such as the majority of students attending a zoom lecture that vote on polls but don't ever talk. It has also been used as a misnomer intended to magnify a population group to make it appear bigger than it really is. In the second case, it is the 'majority' part that is meant to elude, while 'silent' implies that there is another group in comparison: the supposedly "loud" group which turns out to be the true majority group.

Bub: The second use-case sounds a bit sus.

Loko: Yes, essentially it is double-speak.
