A Question of Terminology

As this venue is intended to facilitate a frank discussion among society's Winners as to how to preserve our way of life in the face of incessant persecution from lesser creatures such as those who are poor, it would behoove us to settle on the best terminology to use when referring to those denizens of the lower 99.9 (let's be honest here) percent. I have always preferred "The Peasant" as my term of choice when referring to these lowly beings. The word itself accurately depicts its condition, and retaining the singular while making it a proper noun provides just the right touch of dehumanization to convey the appropriate message. However, there are many other terms that can be used to accurately describe The Peasant and its proper role in the social order of things. I offer the following poll as a way for us, the successful, to settle on the best possible language.

What terminology should this venue adopt when referring to the common people?
