How to use "Flunkey" in context?
The word "flunky" is derived from the Dutch word "flunken", which means "to fail or to falter." Today, the word "flunky" is often used to describe someone who does not contribute anything valuable to a group or society and is someone who is overly obsequious and servile towards those in positions of authority. The Oxford English Dictionary defines a flunky as "a young man attached to a person of rank, especially a servant who attends on his master and does his bidding." Historically, flunkies were employees who were paid very little and given little or no credit for their work.
