What's the term in English?
Tony Blair?

Thinking about it though.
Doesn't he say at the begging of the Apprentice that he hates arse lickers and Schmoozers in the same sentance. So do they mean the same.

Your classic Yes Man could be regarded as a schmoozer.

Spineless hateful individuals who would rather sell their own mother than face up to matters.

Saira?

I thought a schmoozer was someone who spent the vast majority of time 'networking' and air kissing other darlings in cocktail bars. I don't think it means arse kisser as such.

It comes from the Yiddish words of ... shmues and shmuesn which both mean ... Idle talk, gossip, chat. To shmooze is to have a lightweight conversation, one not serious in nature.

I was sure it had a Jewish origin , i have never known it used to describe an A@@ licker , more a charmer
"i shmoozed some girl at the bar" for example

[shirepro]

I think it means 'conservative leader'
