Rubace is a term used to describe a person who is characterized by excessive flattery, sycophancy, or insincere compliments. It refers to an individual who employs insincere praise or fawning admiration as a means to gain favor or manipulate others. The term is derived from the combination of the words "rubber" and "ace."
A rubace usually displays an ingratiating behavior, often resorting to manipulative tactics to ingratiate themselves with others in order to achieve personal gain or advancement. Their flattery is often perceived as disingenuous, insincere, and exaggerated, motivated purely by self-interest. They tend to diplomatically navigate social situations by excessively praising others, regardless of whether they genuinely admire or respect them.
Rubace individuals often exhibit high levels of social charm and charisma, using their skills to influence and manipulate those around them. While their excessive compliments may initially appear appealing, people eventually become aware of their manipulative nature and may feel exploited or deceived.
The behavior of a rubace is often seen as a negative trait, as it undermines trust and authenticity in relationships. Being called a rubace may be considered an admonishment, suggesting that the person is untrustworthy and that their compliments should be taken with caution.
A name given by French jewellers and lapidaries to a variety of rock-crystal with rose-coloured cracks; cut and polished quartz slightly tinged with violet, and besprinkled internally with minute brown spangles of specular iron.
