Word Of The Day

Factotum:

  1. : a person having many diverse activities or responsibilities
  2. : a general servant [Merriam-Webster]

Jake Tapper of CNN’s State Of The Union used it as he cut off Trump senior advisor Stephen Miller to end an interview:

CNN’s Jake Tapper ended a bizarre, contentious filibuster by White House policy advisor Stephen Miller on today’s State of the Union by noting, “There is one viewer that you care about right now and you’re being obsequious, you’re being a factotum in order to please him.”

I wonder if there’s a denigrative sense to factotum.
