Sheep are intelligent creatures, but they can be seen as being cliquey in the sense that the flock sticks together against outsiders. People that mindlessly follow others are often called ‘sheep’. So when someone insults one or several members of the flock/group, the ensuing incident is called Sheepgate.
When the unpopular girl in class verbally attacked a group of friends for being sheep, the flock’s reaction was swift and everyone was talking about Sheepgate for weeks.
