Kool-Aid Drinker I'm including this definition, even
though this phrase is not an acronym, because
I got an email from someone asking me
what is a Kool-Aid drinker. As best as I can
determine, it is a person who has been totally
deceived by someone or something; or who blindly
and without question adheres to the beliefs of,
or follows, some person, dogma, political idea,
etc. I notice that this term often seems to appear
on forums... and especially on political forums.
The origin of this term, if I understand it correctly,
derives from the 1978 Jonestown, Guyana, mass suicide,
where Jim Jones instructed his followers to
commit suicide by drinking a Kool-Aid type drink
(it was not really Kool-Aid, but Flavor-Aid) laced
with cyanide. Most of them did so, and as a result
over nine hundred people died.
