Definition
A 'toady' is a person who flatters and acts subserviently towards someone in authority to gain favor. It's similar to being a sycophant or a yes-man. 🐸 Imagine someone constantly fawning over their boss, eager to please. The term implies a lack of genuine respect and an ulterior motive. Unlike a genuine admirer, a toady is motivated by self-interest. They are willing to debase themselves to get ahead.
