Hello everyone,
I already know that "bootlick" means to (say nice things, do nice things, etc) to someone in order to obtain an advantage. My question: which option is idiomatic in my examples below in American English?
a. He's always bootlicking John because John is rich.
vs
b. He's a bootlicker for John because John is rich.
* I think (a) is idiomatic because it sounds more simple.
Thank you in advance!
