Exactly. It comes from the fact that they follow eachother without thinking, often leading them to die of gravity related causes. Thus when someone is standing there like a lemming it means they’re unfocused, or off in their own little world
Yeah that makes sense, because if something as mindless as a lemming couldn't even follow another lemming around then that would make it *remarkably* stupid and clueless, even for a lemming, so it's a good insult.
That being said, I'm pretty sure the voice line in the game says lemon.

Look into things before you so confidently correct someone.
Late as usual but this ones mine, too! When Mad Max Fury Road came out everyone was shouting "Mediocre!" as a reference to it but the voiceline of that word stuck in my head was Fable's.
"You think you're gonna catch me?! Why do you think they call me 'Dash', stupid? I could outrun the guards before I was out of nappies. What chance have you got?"
Be patient. Time has little meaning here. This place is powerful but it is only a shadow of what it will become. Can you hear it? The sound of our Will being sapped.
“You know what would pair lovely with those gloves is a riding crop or, what’s the word, swagger stick! Swagger stick, such a deliciously staccato, ahem.
Nice gloves”
"You know what would go perfectly with those gloves? A riding crop or a...hm...generals use them to point to maps...swagger stick! That's it! Swagger stick, swagger stick!"
"Make your peace traitor, CUZ YOU ARE GOING TO DIE!" It always makes me chuckle because the emphasis he uses on that last bit. Plus it came out of nowhere during a loading screen right before Swift's execution.
If I hear "titles for sale" while i'm out shopping in bowerstone I can almost guarantee that my Flint lock Is coming out and community service will be done after.
I always remember Walter saying something like "take in that moggy, soggy, sunlight" when entering morning wood and I know exactly what he means like rain,moss,sun and the smell of the wet forrest Mmm.
Also "Wakey, wakey it's day breaky"
Keep hitting it like that!
A perfect blow!
That's how you make a blade.
The entire black smith dialogue is seared into my brain, spent so many hours doing that dumb but addicting mini game
Same. It's so easy to just zone out and put your body on auto-pilot and grind for *hours.*
Dang it this is the one I was going to type. Lol
You're a fine one!
Thank you very much!
You know how to use a hammer!
You're doing it all wrong!
Missed it!
Hero, your willpower is low
Try to get your combat multiplyer even higher
Your health is low. Do you have any potions? Or food?
I never got this one hahahaha
Watch that...
"I could break you"
"Chicken Chaser? Do you chase chickens?"
HoodHoodHood
PIE OF THE DECADE? Only time will tell.
You really know how to treat a door
Are you just going to stand there like a lemon?
Lemming*
No, lemon. British people love insulting people by calling them inanimate objects.
I am British. The saying is “standing there like a lemming”
It's like a lemon.
Nope
You're clearly just shit posting which is fine. But you're wrong.
I am correct and stand by what I’ve said
https://youtu.be/EEV8uwmrEr4?feature=shared If you have ears or eardrums you’ll notice a distinct “-un” sound at the end, as in lemon, ya melon
Lies and slander
You're wrong and we all stand by what we said.
No you don’t. Cowards
That's weird I thought lemmings were known for walking, vis a vis following each other
