A little
sycophantic weasel, a
kiss-up, a
brown-noser, the guy who does the
dirty work for
The Man. He (or she -- toadies come in all shapes, sizes, genders) is the person who
rats out everyone in the office in the hopes of getting a
promotion. They
flatter the
boss at every
opportunity and will
sabotage everyone else in the building to make sure they look good. They're future
managers, which makes 'em even worse!
Here's an
interesting thing: the
word derives from "
toadeater", a person who pretended to eat
poisonous toads in order to show how
effective a
quack doctor's
fake medicine was. Ya
learn something new every day, don'tcha?
