(noun)
In short, someone who will bend over backwards to blow the guy looking over their shoulder.
An individual who makes frequent, obvious, and sometimes disingenuous attempts to impress, please, or win favor with people who are either in a position of authority over them, or who have something that they want.

At least a few suck-ups can be found in most workplaces.
Similar: brown-noser, teacher's pet, kiss-ass, ass kisser, yes-man.
(verb)
