what's sheeple
Sheep + People
It refers to sheep being herded, and implies someone is like a sheep, and willing to do/think what they are told to do/think.
Sheeple is probably the douchiest word not even in the English language.

Does the term "sheeple" just turn anyone else off from whatever someone's saying? I tend to do the same thing with "Ron Paul" and "liberal", but "sheeple" is the biggest offender for me.
"Progressive".
I can't remember the fellow, I want to say Thom Hartman, but I don't think it's him. Anyway I kept hearing the term "As a progressive..." which made me just change the channel.
Hearing "Ron Paul" at any level above inside voice annoys me too. The same would probably apply to any other politician, but I never hear people wailing RICK PERRY or OBAMA. Well, I do hear OBAMA, but it's a reference to a South Park episode, and I join in on it.
