    Sheepish does not mean nervous.

    It means being shamefaced, usually embarrassed when you did / said something wrong and it comes out. It can also mean meek or docile.

    I feel like any video of a sheep interaction with a person would show that the expression makes sense

      unless you’re the sheep near me, who seem confused as to their species and instead act like dogs, including the wagging tail as you give them scritches
