Marble Ceiling 

Discriminatory barrier keeping a certain class of people out of an upper echelon of American government.

( No, not a "certain class." As the first female speaker of the house she was specifically talking about women. They were the original victims in the term "glass ceiling." )

Distinguished from a glass ceiling because not only is this class prevented from rising to the next level, they cannot even see what is going on up there.

( LOL NO, not even close. It's because there's a shit ton of marble in the capitol building, not because she randomly pulled marble out of her ass to use as an example of an opaque material. )

GJ UD for putting an obviously ignorant interpretation as the definition of the day! DURRRRRRR

Collective 600 pound gorilla 

A group of people that rolls 600 pounds deep, which is really no different than if one person acted like the 600 pound gorilla all by themself, it's just bullying spread around a group to fuck with somebody. Just like each person has an asshole, and to some degree is an asshole, a collective 600 pound gorilla has a collective asshole so that no one person has to take responsibility for being the asshole or the one who said this or that.
The collective 600 pound gorilla was punching its chest, showing who the alphas were.
