Term usually used to state the superiority of said piece, while implying that anybody who can't enjoy it isn't experienced or open-minded enough to do so.
Dude 1: This band's records were mostly easy to listen, but the last one is very strange. Most songs last more than 10 minutes and there's a lot of ambient sections.
Dude 2: Wow, did anybody even manage to get into this at all?
Dude 1: Almost nobody. It's their ultimate pleb filter.
A term used for describing pathetic, worthless, and/or hopeless work. Derives from Latin 'plebius' (which means 'of common people') and carries elitist connotations from the user of the word.
PYTHON-532 on the MongoDB bug tracker is an example of utter plebbery--some newb who shouldn't have had commit rights wrote terribly insecure code.
Short for plebeian, a disrespectful term originally used to refer to lower class people or commoners in ancient rome. Could nowadays be used similarly disrespectful to describe someone who doesn't "get" good art, food, music or anything culturally relevant to you, as well as uneducated rude people in general. Can also be used half-jokingly in friendly banter.
"Wow you're such a pleb."
"Don't worry, your track is a banger. They're just plebs"
"Damn, this place is way too fancy, I feel like a pleb."
