Let me just introduce you to my new favorite word (thanks, S.F.): smarmy.
The definition of smarmy is as delightful as the word itself.
Smarmy: unctuously flattering
and the origin of the word, oh, the delight...
"variant of colloquial smalm, smawm (1847) "to smear, bedaub" (the hair, with pomade)"
And of course, the word pomade makes me think of hairnets on men and toads.
Which leads me to the justification of this very random thought:
"It's a fool that looks for logic in the chambers of the human heart."

Thanks for visiting me. I love smarmy too. I use it whenever appropriate and sometimes when it's not!
