I appreciate your comment but I don't think I want anything from Puff Daddy nor do I think what I posted was a flatter to Puff Daddy himself.
What is the meaning of "brown noser"?
(R. Dilip, Shimoga)
Politicians and film stars are usually surrounded by brown nosers. A "brown noser" is a sycophant, someone who flatters an individual for personal reasons. He is willing to do anything to get what he wants. Why is a sycophant called a "brown noser"? Such an individual stoops so low that he often rubs his nose in the dirt - and in the process gets his nose brown! Here are a few examples.
* Vikram that brown noser gave his boss a bottle of wine on his birthday.
* Prakash, you are a plain old brown noser.
* The teacher knew that the students were trying to brown nose him.
