Hooray, it is Wednesday which means it must be time to unearth an underused word, dust it off, and give it an outing. Today’s word is wonderful,in its own right but also because it has so many wonderful synonyms too.
Unctuous. Oooh what a slimy, slippery word this is, bowing and scraping sycophantically. It creeps and crawls, grovelling in its greasiness culminating in a cringe worthy display of ass kissing, bum sucking, gushing at its absolute worst!
It is insipidly insincere; this flattery and fawning is too subservient and self-serving, not to mention nauseating and naff!

Oh I’m blushing, it sounds like there’s a bit of an orgy going on in there with all that ass licking

I love these Wacky Wednesday posts. Not only the words you choose but the rhythm of the post. It really needs music 🙂 “Oooh, what a slimy, slippery word this is,…” I can just hear it chanted to a children’s melody. 🙂
