A kiss-ass, otherwise known as a teacher's pet, brown-noser, or in
case of the
office, a 'Yes,man/woman', is a person who
will constantly suck up to a person in a higher position, hoping to gain attention and/or favor.
They are the ones who are in the office on weekends (usually the only ones there), while everybody else is having fun. Or they are usually the first ones there and the last to leave.
They generally allow themselves to be stepped on, walked over, and shit on, all in the hopes their efforts
will be noticed by their superiors.
