Overly flattering (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

smarmy

'overly flattering' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for smarmy that I've seen before include "Fawning" , "Unctuous" , "Excessively flattering (R, not L)" , "Smooth" , "Obsequious" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.com, The A.V Club, the New York Times, the USA Today, the Newsday and the Universal.
