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 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!

Earnest Lemmingway

An "Earnest Lemmingway" is a liberal intellectual that can see no faults to his elected candidate, justifying every decisions he made even if it goes against the intellectual's core philosophy or own's logic.

- "Finally we have a president who's against stupid illegal wars and against policing the world with our military."
- "But you voted for a man who started an illegal war, not authorized by congress!"
- "This is a different case as this war was justified and could not wait as we needed to help and save those people from tyranny!"
- "You my friend are an Earnest Lemmingway!"

Lemming Model

A model (often fashion) that can never seem to make it for a photo shoot because he/she has a near impossible (yet poor) excuse that can not be refuted.

The Lemming Model didn't show up for the shoot today, her third grandfather died.
