It means something like ingratiating, that oily, overly complimentary, false-smilingly, bent-over-backwards-to-accomodate smarmy attitude of someone trying very hard to suck up to a social superior. It's the attitude of a Maitre d' when Brad Pitt unexpectedly shows up at his two-star restaurant. Shakespeare uses this terrific word in six different plays, most memorably in Merchant of Venice: "How like a fawning publican he looks!"
It was a real experience. The theatre had three levels. The floor level was for men only who stood the whole play (no chairs) and they talked, yelled, fought, and joked all through the play. There were ladies who sold oranges ( why oranges I don't know). The next level was box seats and in these sat couples. Most were men out with the latest mistress and sometimes a wife. They paid more attention to play but also chatted and yelled out. The top floor had "working women" who met the needs of the men on the first floor. The place was also rather smoky since the lights were tallow candles and they gave off an oily smoky scent. People didn't wash much so there was body odor as well. No wonder Shakespeare had to have witches and ghosts in his plays to keep his audience watching.
