Plebs is short for plebians, derived from the period of the Ancient Romans. The plebeians were the general body of Roman citizens and those who were privileged were labeled patricians.
Nowadays, plebs is one associated with those in the lower class. They were often defined as members of a low-born, despised social class and a commoner, while many people who consider themselves modern-day patricians often look down and mock them.
