<p>Really Quick I need the deifinitions for Obsequious and Sycophant. In the Hit Parade it says Obsequious- fawning and servile
Sycophant- insincere, obsequious flattery</p>
<p>IDK why I’m having a hard time with these words, every time I look up the words the definitions become more vague and hard to understand. Some help will be very appreciated :)</p>
<p>Sycophant: someone who continuously tries to please people by his/her actions or speech. Usually to impress or to get his/her work done.</p>
<p>Obsequious: to behave in a servile manner.</p>
<p>I distinguish between the two words by associating obsequious to a behaviour caused due to sense of inferiority or obligation. Whereas sycophant it just to impress so that a particular goal is achieved.</p>
<p>Hope it helped! Good luck!</p>
<p>^ that helped alot. thanxs :)</p>
<p>A brown-noser serves both definitions well.</p>
