What's the word for…..

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

Thanks in advance

Uplink +1

+1 uplink.

Though “fluffer” may sometimes be applicable

Sycophant 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.

That’s a fantastic question!

Flannelers
