Flocking

I have a vague recollection of a Six Million Dollar Man episode which somehow ended with the stars surrounded by sheep and someone saying in quite a deliberate manner "Get the flock out of here".

At the time I knew this was quite risque and amusing even though I wasn't 100% certain why.

Anyways, I find it quite amusing how the term 'flock' is used within religion (especially christianity) and I am equally surprised at how people accept it.

It is a derogatory term if you give it any thought at all.  The flock are the sheep being guided and cared for by the 'good shepherd'.

Sheep are of course generally well looked after, fleeced regularly and eventually eaten.
