What Are Sheeple? Apple Users Are In New Merriam-Webster Dictionary Definition

Apple fanboys have always had a reputation for undying loyalty to the brand, but Merriam-Webster is taking that characterization to a new level by using them as an example for new dictionary entry "sheeple." According to the newly added word, a "sheeple" is an informal term that is used to describe "people who are docile, compliant, or easily influenced" and can be likened or compared to sheep. To show the word in action, Merriam-Webster included two example sentences, including one that takes a shot at the folks who prefer Apple's computers and mobile devices over the alternatives. "Apple's debuted a battery case for the juice-sucking iPhone--an ungainly lumpy case the sheeple will happily shell out $99 for," the sentence reads. A second, much more innocuous sentence was also included.
