rebaño

/reˈbaɲo/ · B2 · noun · m

flock, herd

🐑🐑 re-BAH-nyo sounds like 'ruh-BAHN yo' – sheep banned from leaving the group

Say it as 'reh-BAHN-yo': picture-free trick is to link 'ban' with staying put. A flock is banned from wandering off, so it moves together. The same sense extends to people who follow the crowd without thinking.
