Mou某
<p>This is a popular word in China. I know <code>舔</code> means lick, <code>狗</code> means dog. But it seems that the meaning of <code>舔狗</code> is not to do with <code>lick</code>, there is a sentence says <code>舔狗不得好死</code>, so I think it's a noun. And according another sentence <code>舔狗舔到最后一无所有</code>, I think it can not be translated as licking dog. So how to translate it? </p>

@user6065 According to your link, it seems that it can be translated to `a flatterer who has no dignity`?

两种用法， **一种**  是形容在两性关系中明知道对方不喜欢自己，还一再地毫无尊严和底线地用热脸去贴冷屁股(to show warm feelings but meet with cold rebuke (idiom)
to be snubbed despite showing good intentions)
的人，用更直白粗鄙的叫法我们可以理解为是一种犯贱(行动不自重，显得轻贱骂人的话。指天生的贱骨头，只要人打骂)。**另外** 一种是形容毫无原则和底线去溜须拍马( fawn on; shamelessly flatter)
、阿谀奉承的人。
