ass kisser
What does “ass kisser” mean in English?
It's an insult for someone who flatters others excessively to gain favor. The term suggests a lack of authenticity in the person's praise.
You'd use it to call someone out for being a brown-noser or a suck-up, often in a casual or mocking tone. It's not as harsh as some other insults, but it's still pretty clear that you're not impressed.

Swear Atlas is a source-attested, AI-curated reference — not a native-speaker-certified dictionary. Meanings and the 1–5 Burn Rating are approximate editorial assessments that vary with context, region, tone and speaker. Inclusion of a word does not constitute endorsement of its use.
“Sounds like” is an English-friendly approximation of how the word sounds, not an authoritative pronunciation. Where shown, the romanisation is a conventional Latin-script transliteration of the original spelling.
