What is the Definition of Lemmings?
Lemmings is the plural form of the word lemming, which refers to a small mouselike creature that are known for massive migrations that sometimes lead them through water. This led to a myth that lemmings would follow one another no matter what, even if the lemming in front of them drowned. This has turned lemming into a sort of insult that can be used to describe someone who is a sheep, or who follows the herd even to their detriment.
Lemmingswas also a hit video game, originally released in the 1990s for PC.
