      While in English usually sheep or sheeple is meant as an insult saying you don’t think on your own and just follow programming, in Estonian it’s just a playful way to call someone a dumbass. It’s something you might say to your significant other or good friend after they make a stupid ass-joke (reverse ass-hyphen xkcd time)

      So may we all be sheep on this glorious day

        It’s nothing but an existential hatred of existence. Damn things are suicidal. There was always a few that managed to kill themselves every year on the ranch.
