Smarmy
The introduction to my weblogs essay used to contain this sentence
Also known by the smarmy and inscrutable nickname "blogs", weblogs are something of a hard nut to crack.
until a friend pointed out to me that a term cannot be smarmy. Instead, we might say we perceive a tone of smarmy self-satisfaction whenever someone uses the term "blog". But that doesn't really fit the sentence, so I've simply excised the word "smarmy".
