Let's look up Dictionary words that fit this scenario..

Superannuated
Obsolete
Antidiluvian
Antiquated
Anachronistic
Ka-put
Gawbidge

I added that last one..

I think more appropriate would be.

Tool
Puppet
Servant
Slave
Subordinate
Flunky
Lackey

I'll add kowtowing for bonus points.

PS I saw "Gawbidge" and just assumed you were from Boston.

I lived near there for a number of years. I picked up some pretty bad habits, vocabulary included.

Slowly dying off, but the wife says she can hear 'The Southie' in me when I'm yellin at the TV..
