The expression "king side majority" rather than "king majority" is normal. Also, literally speaking, Black has an equal number of King side pawns (the e-g-h pawns vs the f-g-h pawns), so there is a parity in pawn numbers on the King side rather than a majority. Like yourself, I do not use this interpretation, but this is perhaps the one RH prefers.
