What does SMARM mean in Scrabble?
noun
informal
Excessive, insincere flattery or ingratiating talk and behaviour intended to please or win favour.
Smarm describes speech or manner that is smoothly and unpleasantly flattering, laid on so thickly that it feels false rather than genuinely warm. Someone accused of smarm is usually trying too hard to charm or please, often to gain an advantage rather than out of real regard for the listener. The related adjective smarmy is heard more often, describing a person or manner soaked in this kind of insincere charm.
