Yup that would be the word oleaginous adj 1: unpleasantly and excessively suave or ingratiating in manner or speech; “buttery praise”; “gave him a fulsome introduction”; “an oily sycophantic press agent”; “oleaginous hypocrisy”; “smarmy self-importance”; “the unctuous Uriah Heep” [syn: buttery, fulsome, oily, smarmy, unctuous] 2: containing an unusual amount of grease or oil; “greasy hamburgers”; “oily fried potatoes”; “oleaginous seeds” [syn: greasy, oily, sebaceous] ---

Just stick with plain old _obnoxious_. It’s easier, and perfectly accurate. ---

I’m missing where he is smarmy or obnoxious. Are you talking about the whole thread, or is there a post in particular? ---

You’ve left the sacrcastic crap out of enough times now where I would like to believe you. It’s quite clear that you have problems with my online persona, there’s some people who do as well. Then again, there’s another 29,000 members (or more) here who do not. Or you could just point to anywhere he opens his mouth on that page. Note to Zenster: Chivalry is dead. Those who try to revive it look like morons. Being excessively wordy is a fault, not a gift. No one is impressed with your attempts to be eloquent. People could care less about your grasp of the English language. Get over yourself. ---

You just _know_ he’ll write a 1000+ word opus defending that point. 😛 Reading a **Zenster** post makes me want to whip out a red pencil and edit, edit, **EDIT**. Wheat from the chaff, or point from the drivel, choose one. If he decides to cripple the hamsters **AGAIN** by replying to each and every post in this thread and prove once again how completely self absorbed he is…there’s not a bucket big enough to contain my virtual vomit. ---
