Donna----Sycophants flog themselves.
sycúoúphant n. A servile self-seeker who attempts to win favor by flattering influential people. [Latin s_cophanta, informer, slanderer, from Greek sukophants, informer : sukon, fig + -phants, one who shows (from phainein, to show.)
flagúelúlate tr.v. flagúelúlatúed, flagúelúlatúing, flagúelúlates. 1. To whip or flog; scourge. 2. To punish or impel as if by whipping.
Then again, reading some of the posts of the more eccentric of this thread, perhaps the follwing is also apt:
flog a dead horse. 1. To continue to pursue a cause that has no hope of success. 2. To dwell tiresomely on a matter that has already been decided. |
