People who falsely inflate the Ego of others by telling them what they want to hear?

This is not a troll, or a snide attack on anyone here. I really don't know, and 20mins googling got me nothing.

Thanks in advance

[url= http://www.thefreedictionary.com/sycophant ]Sycophant[/url] which shouldn't be confused with elephant. Top tip, you can get 4 sycophants into a mini, but you can't really get 4 elephants into a mini- it's just a joke!

@uplink - thanks. That's what I thought it was, but when I googled to check I wasn't so sure.

@cranberry - I'll go and google that now.

OK, so how would you explain 'brown noser' to a non-native English speaker?
