oleaginous adj 1: unpleasantly and excessively suave or ingratiating in manner or speech; "buttery praise"; "gave him a fulsome introduction"; "an oily sycophantic press agent"; "oleaginous hypocrisy"; "smarmy self-importance"; "the unctuous Uriah Heep" [syn: {buttery}, {fulsome}, {oily}, {smarmy}, {unctuous}] 2: containing an unusual amount of grease or oil; "greasy hamburgers"; "oily fried potatoes"; "oleaginous seeds" [syn: {greasy}, {oily}, {sebaceous}] From THE DEVIL'S DICTIONARY ((C)1911 Released April 15 1993) [devils] OLEAGINOUS, adj. Oily, smooth, sleek. Disraeli once described the manner of Bishop Wilberforce as "unctuous, oleaginous, saponaceous." And the good prelate was ever afterward known as Soapy Sam. For every man there is something in the vocabulary that would stick to him like a second skin. His enemies have only to find it.

Why don't you try to be just a little bit more oleaginous, Frank. You might make it to the Ari Fleischer / George Will rank. Re: George Will and Ari Fleischer. I'm smarter, better looking and sexier than either of 'em, so whatever other deficits I might have in comparison don't really bother me. I'm quite happy with my present level of oleagianaeity. frank@cleverandmodestandmisunderstood.com
