A term used to describe the undeserved, over-inflated and exaggerated “Messianic” - like worship, adoration, and reverence of a celebrity, political figure, religious personality or social philosophy. The term alludes to the ignorant gullibility of the sheep/heard like mentality of the masses; and suggests the pretentiousness and self-importance of the person venerated, who willfully allows the adulation to continue.
