plaudit

No one today any longer wishes to hear jokes about nagging mothers-in-law, spendthrift wives or old jalopies, and the men and women who once told them to hardy plaudits are now forgotten.

Plenty of plaudits from those watching but, crucially, how did his manager rate him?

And the recruitment specialist believes Rice, though known for his running ability, does not get the plaudits he deserves.
