On sheeple - I don't mind this one, though usually I use the simple "sheep". Mainly because its a very accurate term for many people, lets face it, there are a ton of sheep out there. Its not being arrogant or pretentious to see the reality IMHO.
Wikipedia says it means - "The implication of the term is that people fallaciously appeal to authority and believe or do what they are told by perceived authority figures who they view as trustworthy" while an online dictionary defines it more simply - "people who tend to follow the majority in matters of opinion, taste, etc ".
