out-yes
You are the personification of the traditional ward heeler, you out-yes the Hollywood yes men.
I guess this is a verb which means answering any question with yes according to analyzing though I can't find the meaning of it. Could you tell what it exactly means?

rpsh Could you tell what it exactly means? Casually, we use the structure of 'outdo' with any verb (and some non-verbs) to indicate an extreme of the action. The classic example is Shakespeare's 'to out-Herod Herod': to be more violent or extravagant than Herod, the king of Judea.
