Understanding Adulatory Language and Behavior

Adulatory is an adjective used to describe something that is excessively or insincerely flattering. It can also refer to language or behavior that is overly complimentary or fawning.

For example, if someone is speaking in an exaggeratedly positive way about someone else, without any real basis for their praise, they might be described as being "adulatory." Similarly, if a person is constantly showering someone with excessive praise and attention, even when it's not deserved, they might be seen as being adulatory.

The word can be used to criticize behavior that is overly flattering or insincere, implying that the person is not being genuine in their praise. It can also be used to describe language or tone that is overly effusive or exaggerated in its praise.
