Origin of PLEB
Pop culture’s slang use of ‘pleb’ seems to have originated in the world of Ancient Rome. The Romans used the term to differentiate between the upper-class elite society and lower-class people. The term moved through history with an English adaptation from the Latin term for commoners in the year 1590. It continued to rise through the years with the 70s use as a way to describe someone with bad taste. Social media took ahold of the term and it has risen to greatest use in all of history.
