"Yes-man" is a slang term for a person who agrees with everything said by someone in power to gain favor. It appeared in English in the early 20th century, likely in business and political contexts, combining "yes" (affirmation) with "man" to describe someone habitually compliant. The term is used in informal, critical, or descriptive contexts to highlight obsequiousness or lack of independent judgment. It is mildly derogatory, signaling opportunism or sycophancy, but not vulgar.
