Saturday Word: Lickspittle
lick·spit·tle [ˈlɪkˌspɪtəl]:
origin: (1620) English; lick= to rub with a tongue + spittle= little bits of saliva.

noun
A person who submissively and excessively sucks up to those in power; sycophant; toady; butt-kisser. One of those delightful words that sounds insulting (without being crass) even if you don't know what it means!
Do you have a story about a lickspittle in your life?
