Lemming 

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!

Lemming 

A group of guys and girls who have too much money (from there parents, family etc) and think they are god's greatest gift. The money has come into their families in the last generation or so and they don't know how to spend it. So they follow each other's lead. They are known to flash their money in a "common" and obvious way. They generally wear von dutch if they are guys and juicy clothes if they're girls. They can't live without fake tan. They're mothers have botox and drive porsche 4x4. Basically, they're 'posh chavs'. They are known to be stupid and snobbish, they are liked by no one but others like them.

'OMG, OMG, OMG, did you see Emily, she was like wearing all black to evolution'
'She is such a like freak, has she like never heard of Harvey Nicks or ghds'
*laughing*
'FREAK! FREAK!' *hair flicking*

lemming 

A person who follows everyone else. The word comes from the little monkey, where if one of the monkeys jumps off a cliff, they all do. Someone who follows the herd.

"I hate how they only do it if everyone else does. They're such lemmings."
"You know how if one lemming jumps off a cliff they all do? Well thats a good comparison of them. I mean, they're such lemmings!"
