Maggiepie @Maggiepie (7816) • United States 12 Oct 11

The Misuse Of The Term, "Kool-Aid Drinkers"

Maggiepie @Maggiepie (7816) • United States 14 Jun 11

I'm guilty of this, & I've heard scads of others misusing the term, as well. As it is now, the term "Kool-Aid Drinkers" is used to describe people so deluded they'll do damage to themselves rather than admit...
