Perhaps it's something like the 'silent majority' in English, or what may be postulated as the views of the silent majority.

Well, I guess we need to ask Papuans for clarification on the correct use of it! :P

So how do you actually use this word, if 'That's mokita' is automatically self-falsifying? Do you have to stick to talking in general terms rather than about specific cases of mokita? Refer only to ex-mokita, maybe?
