What is ptochocracy: Government by the poor?

When I typed the word “ptochocracy” in MS word there was a red line under it indicating that no such word exists in dictionary. So, the next thing that I looked for is in Google. Well, I got interested about ptochocracy after seeing it in Google trend. I had no idea about the word and I searched in Google news if anything has happened related to ptochocracy. I was disappointed to find nothing and then turned to Google web search for the word. Wikipedia told me, “There is no page titled "Ptochocracy".” So, you can understand my frustration.

According to Urban Dictionary, “ptochocracy- Government by the poor.”

Wonder of Words said similar thing, “I love this word, and what it means: a government by beggars. From the Greek word ptochos, a beggar, and kratos, power.”

 

In a blog, I found this:

The sidewalk and ptochocracy- and other benefits experience. European central bank ptochocracy, their marriage was base To consider some ptochocracy, drop flashportal, remains of its broad.

Frankly, this thing did not make any sense to me. Do you know anything more than me? Do you have any idea why so many people are searching about this word in Google now?

So many people are searching for the word because it was recently a question on a gameshow. The text fragment you coppied is most likely autogenerated text. Often such text is sent in emails in an attempt to try to get through spam filters.

Ptochracy and Soren Kierkegaard were part of two questions asked on today's "Who Wants to be a Millionaire" TV show. Has there ever been a ptochracy I wonder?

Ptochocracy is surely an intersting word and it was on "who wants to be a millionair". The american hobos had a code to live by (not writen). Also the Gypsies.

the opposite of plutocracy is a place where thr electorate has been reduced to poverty. ( for more see AC Media 's definition )
