(slang, derogatory, offensive) A contemptible person.
British vulgar slang with two distinct senses. The literal sense refers to anilingus (oral-anal sexual contact), though this usage is relatively uncommon in everyday speech. Far more current is the figurative sense: obsequious, fawning behaviour aimed at gaining favour — the kind of shameless flattery and sycophancy associated with office politics or social climbing. 'Arse-licker' is the common agent noun. The figurative use is direct, contemptuous, and vivid — making it a popular insult for obvious flatterers.
