/Sounds like "lahm" (as in "lava") + "bees" (as in "bee") + "koh" (as in "coat") + "neh" (as in "net") + "AHR" (as in "art")/
In Mexico, to suck up shamelessly to someone in hopes of getting something in return. A lambiscón will flatter, agree with everything, and do whatever it takes to stay in the good graces of whoever can benefit them, with zero subtlety.
“He has been kissing up to the director all week hoping to get promoted.”
“Stop being such a brownnoser, everyone can see right through it from a mile away.”

Acomodado
In Argentina, someone who got their position through connections or nepotism rather than merit. The acomodado did not earn their seat; someone handed it to them. The word can carry humor or resentment depending on the tone, but either way, everyone knows how they got there.
