Der umgangssprachliche Begriff Proll ist (noch mehr als der Begriff Prolet) vergleichsweise unscharf und entfernt sich in der Benutzung teilweise erheblich von der Bezeichnung einer gesellschaftlichen Gruppe im soziologischen Sinne (Schicht, Klasse, soziales Milieu), sondern assoziiert (anstelle ökonomischer Ungleichheit) meist eher kulturelle Wertungen im Sinne von derb, vulgär, nicht kultiviert, ungebildet oder kulturlos, manchmal auch in Abgrenzung zu intellektuell.

Jedoch muss man sagen, dass die Komiker das Tragen von Lederjacken sich erst verdienen mussten (Mord, Erpressung, Hunde Gassi führen), somit wenigstens eine Spur taktvoller sind als die Heutigen Prollis.

This article deals with Proles as appeared in 1984. The term is also used in Tom Wolfe's novel Bonfire of the Vanities, Jack London's novel Iron Heel, Harry Harrison's trilogy To the Stars, and the game Dark Conspiracy by GDW.

Proles is a term used in George Orwell's novel Nineteen Eighty-Four to refer to the working class of Oceania (i.e. the proletariat).

In the novel, the society of Oceania is divided into 3 distinct classes: Inner Party, Outer Party, and proles (upper, middle, and lower classes, respectively). The proles constitute 85% of the population. They receive little education, work at jobs in which tough physical labour is the norm, live in poverty (but qualitatively richer than the Outer Party members with regard to certain freedoms inherent to their relative anonymity), have plenty of children, and usually die by the age of sixty.
The Party's slogan in regard to proles is "Proles and animals are free." This is a sharp contrast to the control of the members of Inner and Outer Parties. The Party members are constantly monitored by telescreens in both private and public places. However, prole quarters are more or less free of telescreens. Mostly because proles are not expected to understand that they are exploited by the Party (as a source of cheap labour) and are unable and/or unwilling to organize resistance. Their functions are simple: work and breed. They care little about anything but home and family, neighbour quarrels, films and football, beer and lottery tickets. They are not required to express support for the Party. The Party creates meaningless songs, novels, even pornography for the proles (all written by machines, except pornography, which is compiled by members of the Outer Party and accessible only to party members working in Pornosec). Proles do not wear a uniform, can use cosmetics and have a relatively free internal market economy. Proles also have free sex lives, uninterrupted by the Party, and divorce is permitted. Despite the personal freedoms enjoyed by the Proles, the Thought Police moves among them, spreading false rumors and marking down and eliminating any individuals deemed capable of causing trouble. The Prole quarters consist of rundown apartment buildings, shops, and pubs. Though it is nominally illegal for Outer Party members to trade with proles, all do it because they are the only source for certain minor necessities (the novel mentions shoelaces and razor blades as examples).
