1909, Ambrose Bierce, “The American Sycophant” in The Shadow of the Dial and other Essays, San Francisco: A.M. Robertson, pp. 208-209, However it may be customary for English newspapers to designate the English sovereign, they are at least not addicted to sycophancy in designating the rulers of other countries than their own. They would not say “His Abracadabral Humptidumptiness Emperor William” […] They would not think of calling even the most ornately self-bemedaled American sovereign elector “His Badgesty.”
