Asskissers, also known as brown-nosers, suck-ups, or bootlickers, are people who flatter or praise someone excessively to gain favor or advantage. Another term is sycophants, which refers to those who use flattery or obsequious behavior to curry favor with those in power. Some other synonyms for asskissers include toadies, flunkies, lickspittles, and yes-men. These people often lack sincerity and act in a way that is perceived as insincere or manipulative. While there may be some benefits to being an asskisser, it is generally viewed negatively and can lead to a loss of respect and credibility in the long run.
