bootlick

1 the kind of office in which people feel they have to bootlick in order to get ahead

2 Gabriel Sherman at Vanity Fair reported recently that there was some talk that for all of his ostentatious bootlicking, Pence wasn't really bringing anything to the party:

3 Newsmax's bootlicking has earned it a spot in lawsuits seeking billions of dollars from individuals and outlets promoting "baseless election fraud claims."

4 "Why," asked Hayes, opening his eyes rather wide, "are you boning bootlick with any but officers?"

5 Those who delay this fate the longest are bootlicking mediocrities — the survival of the sycophants.

6 The obsequious Mike Pence once told friends that he “loathed Trump”, and Lindsey Graham aptly defined him as “a race-baiting, xenophobic religious bigot”; then they and their cronies got down to some slavish bootlicking.

7 When it comes to raising money, Donald Trump is morphing into the very kind of bootlicking presidential candidate he’s insisted — over and again — that he wasn’t, isn’t and wouldn’t become.

8 Tiara-crowned, dressed in a gown made of white dinner gloves, and wielding a whip, she castigated the gathered company: “That’s enough! No more bootlicking. Black art must take more risks.”

9 Bugliosi denounced Manson as the “dictatorial maharajah of a tribe of bootlicking slaves,” calling Manson’s followers “robots” and “zombies.”

10 This is a show about hypnotic power, as well as every other kind—about status and control, about interoffice alliances and interpersonal allegiances, about bloodsucking and bootlicking.

11 "Then how can you stand for a bootlick?" shot out Jordan angrily.

12 "Bootlick, bootlick," I heard in murmurs all over the hall.

13 “Pence’s talents for bootlicking — he was nicknamed ‘the Bobblehead’ by Republicans on Capitol Hill for his solemn nodding routine whenever Trump spoke — were at their most obscene during meetings at the White House,” Alberta writes.

14 "I don't stand for a bootlick," replied Cadet Stubbs.

15 But the crawling, bootlicking carpenter, Jacob Engstrand, is changed into a respectable, guileless man with an income.

16 And you've got to play politics, bootlick your boss—all that.

17 One name that won't be on the list is Kelly Loeffler, whose loss in the runoff in Georgia was likely because of her servile bootlicking of Trump.

18 Bugliosi famously denounced the cult leader as the “dictatorial maharajah of a tribe of bootlicking slaves” and called Manson’s followers “robots” and “zombies.”

19 Turned down for that fellow Prescott—-that shifty dodger and cheap bootlick!

20 He became a "bone," and tried so hard to delight his instructors that he was suspected of boning bootlick with the Academic Board.
