I don't know how we made it through the 60s with 6 kids. So I can't say I really like the negative connotation of the term ... we all turned out pretty smart, moderate, literate, and OK. <BR/><BR/>And either buzzed and clueless (your Bill O'Reilly meaning) or over-trusting in the gurus (I guess my point), neither is a nice thing to say about a person or a group of 'em. <BR/><BR/>Now a peanut butter sandwich, that can give me nightmares!!!!! Yikes I must have eaten a ton of those boogers and always associated it with being poor.<BR/><BR/>Good comment. -samSamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06904821424581969401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10291496.post-76484909974620363922009-04-04T04:03:00.000-07:002009-04-04T04:03:00.000-07:00I think you were closer to being right with the El...I think you were closer to being right with the Electric Kool-Aid Acid test. Bill O'Reilly uses the term often. He is not talking about someone who agrees to a powerful status quo. It does usually mean (at least on his show) someone who is not a deep thinker. Probably someone who is easily swayed by someone they look up to. For example if someone quoted either the President or a member of Congress as being right on a subject yet clearly that individual had no idea what the topic was even about, then that person is a kool-aid drinker. That's more or less how it is used on the show and that is how I would use it. You are indeed implying that anybody who would make a foolish or lightly regarded statement, that person can't be that stupid naturally, they must be high on Electric Kool-Aid. That is how I have taken it and how I would use it.( Though I tend to not say it in normal conversation.) Of course, you could also take it to mean that someone is such a light weight mentally, they probably set around and drink Kool-Aid, a fine beverage, but one that is mostly consumed by school age children. In this case, much as the previous, the implied result is the same. You are a light weight, somewhere around grade school level, with no power to persuade peoples opinions, if you are Kool-Aid drinker. <BR/><BR/> Some drank a lot of Kool-Aid in the 70s, seemed great at the time. ( I heard, you know I wouldn't know personally of course.)Some still seem high to me. Looking back I think mom made Kool-Aid with extra sugar. I thought at the time she was just being cool but , for the cost of a 10 cent pack of kool-aid and about 15 cents of sugar you could have a big pitcher. Cheaper than pop, no caffeine, great flavors!!<BR/><BR/> Walt ( Benny's By the Bay Cafe)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
