You're going to just have to suck it up and get used to it then.

I just love all the work y'all do to prove my point in here.

The word use of 'sheeple' is older than you think. In the 1950's, the Emory University Quarterly in 1950-51 penned the term in a piece called; \"We, the Sheeple\". The term is probably older, but no one's found a citation. It's here to stay, suck it up.

Ah, I posted that on the last page.

Null, while I appreciate the attempt (I quickly tire of the term, as well), I have to laugh at the result being nearly the exact opposite.

<waits for thread to eventually die>

I have to say that with this thread raising awareness of the term, I am probably going to begin using it more often now.

I wonder if there is a Firefox plugin to filter \"sheeple\" into some other word or phrase.

I think I'm going to barf if I see another reference to language \"evolution\"

This thread needs more pictures of sheeple.

And all of you high and mighty people who want to show off your super-awesome english skillz need to chill out.

Just kiddin.
