Rodentine

From Spying and Smearing is "Un-American," not Tucker Carlson by Matt Taibbi.  I am not accustomed to words I don't know.  But here one was:

The Wallace panel included rodentine former Robert Mueller team member Andrew Weissman, and another of the networks’ seemingly limitless pool of interchangeable ex-FBI stooge-commentators, Frank Figliuzzi.

Rodentine?  Well, given its proximity to discussion of a lawyer, Andrew Weissmann, I should have guessed.

Its not in Websters, but a google search offers:

rodentine. ro·den·tine (ro-denґtīn) pertaining to a rodent.

Seems as if it is a term which might be used in medical research.   

Urban Dictionary, of course, has a more colorful and elaborate definition:

Adv., pertaining to or describing the skittish, rodent-like behaviors of social outcasts and the lower echelon leeching off their perceived superiors. Pertaining to gold digging or sugar-daddyistic activities.

N., suck up, leech, chicken-head, hooker, trick

It  may not be in standard dictionaries but it certainly seems to cover a lot of behaviors which are becoming increasingly apparent among the Mandarin Class.
