(noun)

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

Get the Slip-up mug.This word is used when some Roblox slender/cnp on vibe or voice chat games ask you to join on discord to argue.
However, they just stay quiet and use the chat the whole entire time you wreck them.
