the worthless word for the day is: pickthank

one who strives to put another under obligation;
an officious person; hence, a flatterer


As, in reproof of many tales devised,
which oft the ear of greatness needs must hear,
By smiling pick-thanks and base news-mongers,
I may, for some things true, wherein my youth
Hath faulty wander'd and irregular,
Find pardon on my true submission.
-Shakespeare, King Henry IV, Part i
