Cách sử dụng
The word 'lemming' is used to describe someone who blindly follows others without thinking for themselves. This word often comes from the behavior of lemmings, the small rodents who are known for their mass migrations where thousands of them follow each other, even off cliffs. In modern times, the word 'lemming' is used to describe people who blindly follow trends or ideas without considering if it is actually right or good for them. For example, someone might criticize a fashion trend by saying "I don't want to be a lemming and just follow what everyone else is wearing." It is important to note that using the word 'lemming' in a conversation could be considered rude or offensive to some people, so it's best to use it sparingly and in appropriate situations.
