Warden Callaway Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Listen up, sheeple — "sheeple" is now officially a word, so sayeth the shade-throwing master Merriam-Webster. ... But according to Merriam-Webster, here's the actual definition: people who are docile, compliant, or easily influenced : people likened to sheep.

Sedalia Dave Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Been hearing certain people being refereed to as Sheeple for close to 20 years. Wonder what took them so long to actually define it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to think "sheeple" as more like domestic livestock. They are willing to give up their freedom for having provided a place to live, food to eat and free medical care.

They’ll usually follow the easiest path, but generally need a little urging!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 I had thought that Rush coined the term... however, research shows that it even predates Mr Limbaugh: Quote Although it's origin is not clear, the word was used by W. R. Anderson in his column Round About Radio, published in London 1945, where he wrote: "The simple truth is that you can get away with anything, in government. That covers almost all the evils of the time. Once in, nobody, apparently, can turn you out. The People, as ever (I spell it "Sheeple"), will stand anything."

Sheeple are sheeple 24/7/365 1/4. Lemmings don't vote. Sheeple do, but shouldn't. Lemmings can make a valid point for what they do. Sheeple can't.

Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Well, that didn't make any sense at all. Blame it on not getting a good night's sleep, not having breakfast yet, and being old. Yep, that should account for about 90% of what ails me. I can write the other 10% off with PTSD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
