Populib 

A book containing a list of many people known to a single person, usually constructed by that person, used to remember and opinionate on them. Variations may include entries which do not name the specific person, or sections of notice under which names can be classified.

The boy saw his name under the "Friends" category of the Populib and became instantly thrilled to see it.

father: I am neither Templar Knight nor Fanatical Turk, I am neither here to explain to you your homework in vox populii, because you are in private school and are supposed to brew your own vegetable soup and learn things on your own, and neither am I here to do your homework for you, because you won't learn anything.

populist 

A term for a person or movement that embodies populism i.e. anti-intellectualism masquerading as disdain for "the elites" i.e. anybody who uses facts in an argument. This is generally found in the far-right (or alt-right, as they like to call themselves now), but far-left populists are not uncommon, just less prone to xenophobic bullshit

2016 was the year Britain and the USA fell for populist bullshit.

Schrödinger's Populist

A thoughtless political experiment in which contradictory and counterproductive governance creates a society so fragmented and chaotic that its leaders are only mocked rather than overthrown.

Alexander Boris DePfeffel Johnson is the very archetype of a Schrödinger's Populist.

vox populi 

Latin for voice of the people like a colloquialism, or current expressions, street lingo, idiomatic expressions and words.

Can be used metaphorically for commonly understood, the popular person or idea, what everyone knows or accepts, the latest trend.

I admire that candidate for his clear vox populi.

You ever find yourself down in that part of the country, they have their own vox populi, know what I mean?

This new drink is the new vox populi on campus.

You got to get with it, you got to know the latest trends, the newest styles, the vox populi of the crowd if you're going to make it in this town.

populism 

1. A principle that the citizenry of a nation decides its government's endeavors.

2. An often noisy and/or militant mob mentality fostering anti-intellectualism, which operates from primitive emotional instincts rather than from civil, substantive disagreement.

1. As a result of the populism shown at yesterday's peaceful protests, we shall seek to come to a more bipartisan agreement on the current House bill.

2. It was pure pandemonium at the nationwide teabagging festivals last week, which included political hacks as guest speakers, conservatives who falsely claimed that liberals were "protesting with them," anarchists who don't understand why we have taxes in the first place, brainwashed individuals who don't realize they actually benefit from the stimulus bill, conspiracy theorists, libertarians who are protesting taxation WITH representation, Calvinists who think colonial Americans were "saints" just because they lived in an earlier time period even though they owned slaves and often came down with syphilis, and attention whores who like to think they're just like these colonial revolutionaries of the 1700s.

In other words, there was much populism.
