To blindly follow, or believe something or someone without even questioning the facts. Refusing to agknowledge the real truth. Believed to have connections to the Reverand Jimmy Jones cult that committed mass suicide by drinking kool-aide spiked with poison.

If they beleive that, they must be drinking the kool-aide.

sipping the kool-aid

Going along with a stupid idea simply because fellow peers are rather than one thinking for his or herself. The term originates from when Jim Jones of Guyana lured a thousand people of his satanic cult into drinking cyanide-poisoned Flavor-Aid in 1978.

Dumbass: You wanna go play chicken?
Wise person: Why would I wanna go do something so dangerously stupid?
Dumbass: Because it's fun and all the cool people are doing it.
Wise person: All the 'cool' people are idiots! Quit sipping the Kool-Aid before you get yourself killed.
Dumbass: Hmmmm.....No thanks! My social status depends on it. I'm out! Later loser!

corporate kool aid

the PR and Marketing specifically geared towards imprinting the corporate culture and brand as a positive mindset and way of life, targeted to "inside audiences", a.k.a. the employees, of a corporation, most especialy to new hires to help them assimilate into their new environment". In the most successful cases, this is done in such a way that the individual who has "drunk the corporate kool aid" will, outside of work and uncompensated, be a willing and engaged corporate spokesperson, advocating and promoting the corporation's stated views and agenda as True Believer.

See also Microsift, Target, and Jim Jones.

I am thrilled and lucky to be here! I fully admit, I have drunk the corporate kool aid and now I am one of the best and the brightest, inventing the future! What do you mean my 75 hours of work each week are distroying my marriage and family?!!! This is IMPORTANT WORK!!

Indian Kool-Aid

A very common alcoholic drink on various Indian reservations (more commonly referred to as 'the rez') in the West. Usually consumed towards the end of the month when federal subsidy check has been spent on high quality liquor such as PBR, Schlitz, Burnett's vodka, and various rums in plastic containers. Indian Kool-Aid is simply made by mixing isopropyl rubbing alcohol and Kool-Aid powder. The sugar masks the terrible taste of the cheap as hell rubbing alcohol. It's fucking sad but fucking true... Before you hate too hard on these poor bastards go to a rez in South Dakota and see how much there is to do and how much hope there is to fill your day.

Alcoholic native moseys over to his neighbor's trailer in the middle of the SoDak prairie. There are no jobs to be had and the only hope he can come by is provided solely from his alcohol-induced fantasies...
"Hey Wildhorse, you g-got anymore of that f-firewater?"
"Naw Eagle-Eye it's all gone. I musta spilt it all out on the bluff last night under the half moon. I'll mix up some "Indian Kool-Aid" tho and we'll go shoot some prairie dogs, eh."
Eagle-Eye ponders the wisdom of this momentarily. The month before he consumed two bottles of rubbing alcohol in a few hours and almost died from the respiratory depression caused by isopropyl alcohol's strong effect on the Central Nervous System.
"That'll work Wildhorse. Mix mine real strong, eh."

Drinking the kool-aid

A figure of speech that means to buy into the ideas or beliefs that someone else is selling, be it a company or a church. It strongly suggests that the ideas are nonsense and possibly dangerous. The phrase is a reference to the Jonestown massacre in which the cult leader Jim Jones led his followers to commit mass-suicide by drinking a poisoned fruit drink similar to Kool-Aid.

"You've been at that company too long and they treat you like crap. It's time to stop drinking the kool-aid."

"He's been volunteering for that political campaign and it's all he talks about. Half of it is BS ... I wish he'd stop drinking the kool-aid."
