Thank you, Lou. I take no offense. It is just a word and not such a bad one.
My best friend of over 25 years taught me the word *toady* during a phone call a few years back. It cracked me up so much I have never forgotten it. She was rolling along, telling me a detailed story of a woman she was trying to patiently work with in a youth group, but whom she felt just did everything to please the person running the whole program and to get constant praise, instead of focusing on the kids....and she says, "oh, she's just such a toady!"
"A what?"
"A toady."
"What the heck is a toady? And why do you know that word?!"She said she remembered reading it in a book and picked it up there... guess you had to be there but we both love books, writing, reading....and usually don't stump each other with unknown vocabulary.
Your description of deputy duties is quite correct, for the most part.
