From ''The Concise Oxford Dictionary'', 1966 Edition:

'''smarmy''', adj. Unctuously ingratiating, fulsome. [from ''smarm'', variation of dialect ''smalm'', to smooth down (as with grease)]

For when "smug" just won't cut it, and you need a really descriptive word for someone just ''dripping'' with a tangible, sickeningly oily overinflated sense of self-worth who is hoping for the adulation of the masses, break out "smarm," and variations thereof. Mostly used on chiselled hero-types, like John Sheirdan from ''Babylon 5''.
