I like this word! INGRATIATE means to bring oneself into favour with someone by flattering or trying to please them. Basically in Australian slang, it's a suck-up, butt-kisser and goodie-two-shoes etc. It makes the old slang words seem petty and instead puts an elegant twist on insulting. I am now going to call my brother an INGRATIATOR and say that he only has one purpose in life - to INGRATIATE. Oh this is marvellous! INGRATIATING can get you some places but not everywhere, real results come from hard work and determination.
