They are referencing the most qualified people, usually.
Example:
Situation: A broken faucet.
Remark: "They better fix it."
Explanation: Perhaps they live in an apartment and they are refering to the maintenance's ineptitude of being late to fix things.

They're just figures of expression really. I think it's just easier to say rather than having to label it with the appropriate person. For instance, in "they better do something", you don't know who that specific person is so you just replace it with 'they' and you got yourself a conversation starter.

"They" are a group of people who live in the woods. There are 7 of them and together they formulate those what are called "they".

the "they"... Is the general populous.
It's like saying "Many people say"... shortened to "they"
