The word "sheeple" is now in the dictionary, with Apple fans as example

“Raman” sounds like a noodle dish, or a Rastafarian greeting to a male person. “Ewewoman” - Worst superheroine ever, or a sloppy way of gaining a female person’s attention.

I remember when it seemed like only four people I knew used the word “sheeple” back in the 1990s, and I was one of them; I thought it meant people who follow fads just because everyone they know follows them, without thinking for themselves. Seems like there’s a lot of folks out there like that nowadays, too. But it’s impolite to call them “sheeple” now?
