Probably. Depends on how much I stood to gain.

My old history teacher, who was also a Vietnam vet, said to our class, "Never kowtow to anybody!" We were only two in that class who would even consider the kowtow.

I think you just like saying the word "kowtow".

I've got a fever, and the only prescription ... is more kowtow.

If it was to gain a lot, I might be persuaded to kowtow a little. Or if it was to keep from losing a lot (such as, "kowtow or die!!"), I might have to do that thing.

Haven't had to since my ex left. Didn't actually gain anything then except for temporary respites from trouble.
If I had to for the good of our library I would.

I would not, but I would, in fact, Cameltow.

If you can't kowtow, then don't go into sales.

Back in my youth when I was doing gymnastics, I performed a triple kowtow. Got an award for it, too...

I would kowtow if it could gain me permanent financial independence. Otherwise, no.

I would kowtow if someone said to me "do not kowtow!" I'd show them who'd boss.

Got a major project in the planning stages at work that would require kowtowing to several local agencies to get it done. Looks like I may get a lot of practice!
