<< review queue entry 58115 - submitted by 'richwarm' >> 1) ass kiss --> kiss ass http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/kiss%20ass 2) "suck-up" is a noun (=sycophant), not a verb. https://ahdictionary.com/word/search.html?q=suck+up&submit.x=0&submit.y=0 3) Can we check the definition? Few dictionaries include the word, but X has 1.春秋时，吴灭越，越王勾践入臣于吴。吴王病，勾践用范蠡计，入宫问疾，尝吴王粪以诊病情，吴王喜，勾践遂得赦归越。事见汉赵晔《吴越春秋．勾践入臣外传》。 2.谓孝亲之行。 3.谓佞人贱行以媚上。 Where does it say that people taste their parents' excrement? Sense #1 would seem to be a (very rare?) case of tasting excrement for the purpose of medical diagnosis, not as an act of filial piety? |
