lemming

A group of small rodents, famous for mass migrations where huge numbers of them will move from place to place, sometimes ending in all of them drowning.

In the game "Lemmings", if you're not careful, all the lemmings will walk right off the cliff and go Splat or drown.

1) A small, short-tailed rodent which lives in the tundra. It is said that large groups of these animals come together every so often to jump off of a cliff. On the contrary, they fall off quite by accident. It is also said that Disney filmed them doing this by moving them to unfamiliar territory.

2) Quite possibly one of the coolest animals ever.

1) Did you see the Disney lemming documentary? I wonder if the rumours are true...

2) Lemmings rock! They're my favourite animal!

A lemming refers to a purchase/wished-for-item which results from reading an enthusiastic post about a new fabulous product. Overcome by compulsion, readers follow like lemmings diving off a cliff.

Originally coined in the alt.fashion newsgroup in the late 90s, the term has permeated numerous beauty boards/forums/sites.

May be used as a noun or verb. May apply to the buyer but more commonly to the item of desire.

A flemming is a fledgeling lemming.

What makeup items are on your current lemming list?

I am totally lemming the entire upcoming MAC collection!
