What does TOADY mean in Scrabble?
noun
A person who flatters or does favors for someone important in order to gain their approval or advantage.
A toady curries favour through constant flattery and small services rather than honest effort, hoping to win the goodwill of a powerful boss, patron, or leader. The word grew out of toad-eater, an old term for a quack doctor's assistant who supposedly swallowed a live toad to let the doctor stage a miraculous cure, and the sense of shameless servility carried over into modern usage. Toady also works as a verb, as when someone toadies to a manager in hopes of a promotion. Unlike a simple helper, a toady is judged for the insincerity behind the flattery, not the help itself.
