Examples of sheepishly in a Sentence

1. Lakshheish M Patel:

   If the trader sells everyday in the first hour via intraday in current market scenario , then 95% probability is that he will make money and not even 5 % chance is that he will lose. So selling is more profitable than buying. But beware of BROKERAGE HOUSES as they play game to sheepishly loot your money from your accounts

2. Aaron Clarey:

   So do yourself and all men across the world a favor. Not only REFUSE to see the movie, but spread the word to as many men as possible. Not all of them have the keen eye we do here at (Return of Kings.) And most will be taken in by fire tornadoes and explosions. Because if they sheepishly attend and Fury Road is a blockbuster, then you, me, and all the other men (and real women) in the world will never be able to see a real action movie ever again that doesn't contain some damn political lecture or moray about feminism, SJW-ing, and socialism.
