    Is there a word for the annoying type of praise? Not a condescending or patronizing type of praise, but the kind that would come from a tag-along.

    (two words I know)

    Edited - If this person 'sucks your cock', then I doubt they would have done it in real life: if someone had actually done this then they would find it hard to do it in everyday interaction, in my opinion.

    So the soul does not really exist then? Interactions are interpreted differently by people: interactions are experienced differently depending on one's experience. Maybe there is no objective reality principle.

    Yes please!

    However we did both agree there is an interation that can be viewed as physical. Both included the mouth too, however your interpretation included the assumption that what was being kissed was dirty.

    I do think your interpretation was correct though. When does this praise come in? If it comes from no where then we can assume it is the ass being kissed, but if you offer something, which is then kissed/sucked, we can assume it is a penis.

    This is close, but not exactly what I mean. There may be no word for it.

    This is kind of what I was thinking of(I'm reminded of that Plato kid from Rebel Without a Cause.) It's probably the most accurate term, too.

    Why do you ask?

    EDIT::

    sycophant

    n : a person who tries to please someone in order to gain a personal advantage [syn: toady, crawler, lackey]

    Come to think of it, sycophant is probably a good word. Maybe Lackey?

    Not necessarily someone lower. Another way to describe the annoyance would be if a guy's dad always bragged about his son to his friends to much and the son got annoyed with it.

    Isn't that just pride?

    Yes, but overly proud in an annoying way. It's hard to explain. There's probably no word for it.

    Excessive pride to the point of annoyance..

    hmmm (getting this off of dictionary.com) - devotee, hanger-on, apostle, clinger, barnacle, backslapper, bootlicker, lap-dog, chump.

    This father is probably well meaning, but I see what your point. It probably would get itchy..

    "Is there a word for the annoying type of praise?"

    The only word I can think of is boasting.
