'The great unwashed' có từ 'unwashed' là không rửa, bẩn, ám chỉ những người thường ở những nơi không sạch sẽ, không chăm lo tới bản thân -> những người bình thường, những người ở tầng lớp dưới, những người cùng khổ

Ví dụ
There’s a growing ­resentment (oán giận) that the offspring of the great unwashed are threatening the paid-for birthright of their betters by becoming bright enough to jump through the Oxbridge entrance hoops.

Viewing the recent political ads by the federal parties, the Liberals show our illustrious leader standing inside a bus with the great unwashed. Really now, when has this pampered (được nuông chiều) rich kid ever taken a bus in his life?

Cutting interest rates and quantitative easing to those of us of the great unwashed. Fiscal stimulus (government spending), being a dirty word in the age of supposed government financial prudence (thận trọng, khôn ngoan), politicians put it in the too-hard box and took the easy route of letting central banks do the heavy lifting.

“From a Hamilton perspective this (the game) really seemed to be almost a class (tầng lớp) war. We the great unwashed against the well-heeled rich who thumb their noses at us. To Torontonians we were the crap hole city if you will. We call Toronto Hogtown because they want everything and typically get it. We’ve always been treated like the proverbial ‘red-headed step son,’ always on the short end of the stick.
