word of the day:
vox populi:n. popular sentiment
Latin phrase that translates as "the voice of the people." It can be found in the longer, Vox populi, vox Dei, which means " The voice of the people is the voice of God." Many think that the expression means that the people are always right, but it really implies that the will of the masses- right or wrong- is often irresistible. Since the mid-60s, English-speakers, especially British ones, have trimmed "vox populi" down to the abbreviated "vox pop," an expression applied to popular opinion as it is used and expressed by the media.
