from the traditional practice of schoolchildren bringing a shiny apple as a gift to their teacher
The first known use of apple-polish was in 1926
1 a departmental supervisor who apple-polishes shamelessly whenever higher-ups are about
2 John isan apple - polisher ------ he always agrees with whatever the boss says.
约翰是个马 屁 精,不管老板说什么,他都赞同.
3 I'm not an apple - polisher , or an autograph hound , I just speaked my mind , is that wrong?
不要那么紧张嘛,大家都是闹着玩的, 大家都不说话不是就没得笑了 吗 ?
