Word Of The Day..

Word of the day brought to you from alphaDictionary.com

• snool •

Pronunciation: snul • Hear it!

Part of Speech: Noun

Meaning: An extreme toady, a willing kow-tower, someone who submits tamely to oppression, a 'yes man'.

Notes: Today's word holds no spelling or pronunciation traps. It is a lexical orphan without derivatives though it may be used as a verb: to snool is more natural than the Chinese word kow-tow. It is a useful substitute for all those horrible phrases, such as to brown-nose, to suck up to—all of which have unpleasant connotations.

 

When she asked if the BBQ could be moved to another location and in a way insulting me and my home, anger rose up in me and I finnaly broke out of the snool mold I had been in for months.
