+Cardinal Red Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 So does Lackeys mean they lack something? Or is it an acronym like: Laughing At Crazy Kids Excites Yoda? (just made that up...) I've always accepted this dictionary definition: Someone who does menial tasks or runs errands for another. It is not uncommon to take a word with a somewhat negative connotation and use it as a more affectionate reference. From the Groundspeak Knowledgebase What's a Lackey? A "Groundspeak Lackey" is a term used to refer to the employees and founders of Groundspeak who do the most basic tasks to support the overall needs of the community. This willingness to serve each other and provide recreation for a worldwide community is a core value of our company. We accept the term Lackey with pride since we are beholden to the community for our success. Quote Link to comment
