I do not know which of these examples have been vetted by a human. Yet many demonstrate the *obsequiousness* I find definitional for "kowtow."

You're putting all of your eggs in a basket of webcrawled usage rather than

A) the given definition in two dictionaries
B) the usage examples from OED

...

M-W does not support your usage.

The section of that page which does is automated webcrawling which quotes other people who are also misusing the word.

"Because others are doing it" is insufficient justification for continued misuse. We all make errors in usage. Learning & correcting is a process.

Attached is the OED definition I am working w/.

Do you know the word "obsequious"? It is instrumental in both M-W and OED definitions.

Could you replace your usage of kowtow with any one of the synonyms in the M-W entry w/o altering your meaning?

By my read neither dictionary supports your usage.

i was driving a bunch today...
and all i could think about was

"roads are just Kill Zones.
but not solely for humans,
we kill'em all. bugs, birds,
snakes, cats, dogs, deer,
raccoons, possums, and
anything else we can hit."

it guess it would be cruel&dumb to introduce moose everywhere to kill cars?

Dokkaebier Kimchi Sour

A nice gingery sour with a hint of heat. Drinks easy like a ginger ale!

My only disappointment is that it is not spicier and more kimchi-forward.

It would (of course) pair well with BBQ and an array of smaller dishes.

Would and will recommend!

Baltimore v DC rivalry chilled in this alignment.

Capital sectionals will be waaaaaay less fun.

But most egregious is that **Baltimore** is part of "Central Appalachia".

¡¡NO!!

Bmore is on the coastal plain.
Bmore Area includes the piedmont.

None of Baltimore is Appalachia let alone *Central*.

Enjoying a couple train beers from The Best Brewery in MD: Sapwood Cellars.

Seriously! Like 2-6 new beers per week across styles. *excellent* hazy IPAs lead the board but sours, big stouts, easy-drinkin lagers, off-the-wall experiments &more.

This one uses Nectaron hops to make a super-fruity IPA

and also now i see that schoolboy q is actually a panda care technician.
