ingratiate: to gain favor or favorable acceptance for by deliberate effort

how to use in casual conversation

"your attempts to ingratiate yourself with flattery with not yield positive results sir!"
"you ingratiatory bastard!"

not to be confused with

ingrate

how it makes me feel

i love it. it's one of those fancy words that had an analagous crude term; in this case ass-kissing. ingratiate:kiss-ass::gluteous:ass. could one ingratiate someone else's gluteous? i'm not sure. i could go alot further with the a:b::c:d type things with dirty words but i'll leave it alone
