I've been seeing the term "Kool Aid drinkers" on a number of blogs for some time now. I assumed the term was coined by Catholics referring to certain priests using glass pitchers to pour out the consecrated Precious Blood for Holy Communion (a big NoNO addressed back in 2004 by Redemptionis Sacramentum.)
Well, I wasn't all that far off. Urban Dictionary defines kool aid drinkers as "someone who believes what they are told without thinking for themselves." The term was originally used to describe followers of Jim Jones in Guyana who committed suicide by drinking poisoned Kool Aid. (Actually it was "Flavor Aid," a cheap imitation of Kook Aid.)
Well! You learn something new every day!
