Word for the Weekend. 6/29

Following in the footsteps of Bill O'Reilly, I would like to help expand vocabularies everywhere. Every Friday I will give a new word which you can proudly use at the bar in order to impress the ladies. In actuality, using an unusual word around people tends to spark a conversation, even if it consists of them calling you an egotistical ass. So I feel it is safe to theorize these posts will help men everywhere... maybe not.

At the least, you can toss a few of these around in the next verbal confrontation you find yourself in. It really angers people when they aren't positive if your insulting them or not.

Either way, here it is.

obsequious
ob-SEE-kwee-us
adjective:

marked by or exhibiting a fawning attentiveness

"But it is hard to know them from friends, they are so obsequious and full of protestations; for a wolf resembles a dog, so doth a flatterer a friend." - Walter Raleigh
