Question

請問有 Brownie Points 是什麼意思? 這句話的來由是什麼?

Answer 1

Brownie point (plural Brownie points)
(Idiomatic, Slang) Credit or praise for good work or a good deed, often for the express purpose of currying favour
Brownie points are a hypothetical currency, which can be accrued by doing good deeds on or off the net or earning favor in the eyes of another, often one's superior.
來由:
The Oxford English Dictionary conjectures that this expression could also have derived from US military slang for sycophants, "brownnosers", while mentioning the less-likely but popular etymology that derives it from the awards system of the Brownies Girl Guides/Girl Scouts. "Brownie" itself in the sense of "brown-noser" was in use in the 1940s.

The OED reports its first appearance in print as 1963, though the origins of the phrase predate this. Its frequent appearance in newspapers in the 1950s date back to the earliest known usage in 1951, where a man in the Los Angeles Times speaks of earning favor with his wife in terms of brownie points.

Answer 3

典故: brownie 原是自家做的小餅干, 小學生常帶此餅或蘋果給老師(其實是二十年以前美國社會的刻版印象留下來的),或女童軍賣餅干等. 故 brownie point 原義為"作討老師喜歡的事", 現引申為印象分數之意。

Answer 4

(Pronunciation Key)Brownie point also brownie points (為了討好XX 而付出/努力得來的獎賞)n. An amount of credit considered as earned, especially by favorably impressing a superior. Often used in the plural.
