I need help with this one word
 
Okay, I feel a bit dumb, I need help with this one word. It's an adjective that means to have a lack of opinion, as in someone who agrees with someone all of the time, or doesn't challenge them enough is "this word". The word's on the tip of my tongue, but I can't think of it exactly. Again, I feel dumb for not knowing the word I'm looking for. Can someone help me? It would be much appreciated. =)

Sycophant?

IWP 12-05-2011 09:48 PM

Nah close, but it's a specific adjective I'm looking for.

Paedantic Basterd 12-05-2011 09:52 PM

Obsequious?

Thom Yorke 12-05-2011 09:56 PM

Ah whoops, adjective. Submissive, complacent, ingratiating, meek.

IWP 12-05-2011 10:20 PM

Ah nevermind, I found it, the word I was looking for was "indifferent". I knew it was on the tip of my tongue, god I feel dumb. I appreciate you guys helping out though.

Paedantic Basterd 12-05-2011 10:23 PM

Ah, bit of a misleading description, but good.

An ex-girlfriend used it to describe me one time, cause whenever there was something she wanted to do with me (for example, watching a certain movie that just came out in theatres), I would always go along with it, regardless of whether or not I really wanted to or not.

That would not describe someone who's indifferent. It would describe someone who's noncontentious, or a sycophant , as someone suggested earlier in thew thread.

If you really didn't want to go then you weren't indifferent.

Indifference would be more in the realm of apathy. Not caring either way.
But sacrificing your own desires in order for an interaction or event to transpire with as little friction as possible would be more of an example of compromise, bordering on total pushover. ;)

I think "spineless" would be an apt one, actually. I don't think "indifferent" exactly works in the scenario you described.

SATCHMO 12-06-2011 01:40 AM

:laughing: I'm wondering if IWP is gonna think that starting this thread may not have been the best idea.

You all think of big words. Words that on the tip of the tougue but can't speak out are usually words that commonly used. Indifferent...boys are usually indifferent in the eyes of girls ..haha
