Why this word is great
GLAVER — [Verb] To flatter or wheedle someone in a deceitfully smooth and insincere manner. Of uncertain origin; possibly of Celtic origin, compare Welsh glafr ("flattery"). Unlike “flatter,” which may cloak a genuine sentiment, or “cajole,” which implies a strategic campaign, to glaver is to deploy a greasy and superficial charm, its very sound evoking a slithering insincerity. It is the unctuous murmur of the courtier, the empty endearments of the street hawker, the slavish, grinning assent of the sycophant—a performance of regard that leaves only a faint, sickly residue of contempt for the crude transaction of esteem.
